Total

At the one month point, I follow-up with these assays:
Total Testosterone
Bioavailable Testosterone

Estradiol (specify by the “Extraction Method” or “Sensitive”)
DHT (if patient is using a transdermal delivery system)

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
(if ALT/AST from above are elevated, then get a GGT)
...I hope this helps!
