In order to clarify and harmonise ordering of testosterone requests across Awanui Labs, a change to the number of testosterone request options will be effective from 17 September 2024. These changes will have no impact on clinical management of patients but will make testosterone ordering simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current multiple different total testosterone request options will be consolidated into 4 options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) \u2013 Code [SHB]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Testosterone only \u2013 Code [TESF]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Testosterone + SHBG \u2013 Code [FAI]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Testosterone-LCMS (Specialist only) \u2013 Code [LCM]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
