Hormones
SHBG
Also written as Sex hormone binding globulin.
Core panel — run every month
What it indicates
The protein that binds sex hormones and controls how much circulates freely.
Why a series helps
SHBG shifts with thyroid status, liver function and body composition, so it reads best alongside a series of the hormones it binds.
What this page does not tell you
What a particular SHBG result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
