What is Free Testosterone (Direct Assay)?

Free Testosterone (Direct Assay) refers to measurement via direct immunoassay. This method is often considered less accurate than calculating Free T from Total T, SHBG, and Albumin, especially at low levels or when SHBG is abnormal. However, it provides a direct estimate of the unbound hormone fraction. Interpretation should ideally consider the specific assay method used. Note: Levels and ranges differ significantly from Calculated Free T.
