Gender-Affirming Care (HRT) Panel

Gender-affirming hormone therapy, feminizing or masculinizing, works best when you monitor it. This panel tracks the hormones and safety labs most HRT regimens rely on: sensitive estradiol, total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin, plus CBC, a comprehensive metabolic panel (liver, kidney, electrolytes, glucose), lipids, and thyroid (TSH). Test 4-6 weeks after starting or changing your regimen, then every 6-12 months once stable, and review your results with your provider. Note: your lab order must list a sex of male or female for the blood draw. Pick the one matching the photo ID you'll show at the lab.
