What lab test should I get my Dr to Run

[magnus68]

Ok, so I have met my deductable and can get everything covered. I am on TRT and hGh through primary and endocrinologist but they only test for IGF1 and total test for hormones I know I need more than this. I am going to see a new doc about adding hcg and she will re test me Im sure I want the most complete labs. Thanks

You need total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol (sensitive), CBC, DHT, PSA (was a baseline psa run prior to the start of therapy?), prolactin, CMP, TSH, free T3, rT3, thyroid antibodies. That you have to ask for these is a serious red flag about your doctor's knowledge (lack of knowledge) in regard to TRT.

How much HGH do you take and how much does that cost? Does insurance cover that too?

I would run IGF-1 plus at least the TRT Panel
