Quick answer
The SHBG blood test measures the level of sex hormone binding globulin in the blood. SHBG is a liver-produced protein that attaches to testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estrogens, controlling how much of these hormones remain free and biologically active. It is ordered when a hormone imbalance is suspected or when total hormone levels need context. Results are interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider.
What this test measures
Sex hormone binding globulin is made in the liver and circulates in the bloodstream. It binds tightly to testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol, and only the unbound fraction of these hormones is available to act on tissues. Measuring SHBG helps clinicians estimate free hormone levels and better understand symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, or changes in body composition.
The test requires a blood sample, usually drawn from a vein. SHBG is often ordered alongside total testosterone, estradiol, or other hormones. Levels can be influenced by thyroid function, liver health, body weight, insulin resistance, and certain medications, so the result is rarely interpreted in isolation.
SHBG testing is used in the evaluation of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid disorders, liver disease, and disorders of androgen excess or deficiency. It can also help monitor the effects of hormone therapy. The test does not diagnose a condition by itself and should be reviewed with the broader clinical picture.
