Prostate / Testosterone IQ®
1 in 8 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, and as many as 1 in 4 have low testosterone.
American men who have higher testosterone levels may be more likely to undergo unnecessary prostate biopsy," flagged by their higher PSA. Knowledge of the testosterone-PSA association helps refine tools for clinical decision-making in men who have an elevated PSA. This panel is often ordered for men experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances or prostate health issues. Indications for this test include difficulty urinating, decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or symptoms suggestive of prostate enlargement or cancer. It's also commonly used for routine screenings in men over the age of 40 or those with a family history of prostate issues.

What's Measured in Prostate / Testosterone IQ®
Total PSA
- Measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, an enzyme produced by the prostate. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate inflammation, enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia), or cancer. However, PSA levels can also be influenced by other factors, such as age and certain medical procedures.
Total Testosterone
- Assesses the total amount of testosterone, a key male hormone responsible for muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive, among other functions. Low testosterone levels can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, and decreased muscle mass, while high levels might be indicative of an underlying endocrine disorder.
