Résumé

The circulating concentrations of total and free testosterone vary substantially in people over time due to biologic factors as well as due to measurement variation. Accurate measurement of total and free testosterone is essential for making the diagnosis of androgen disorders. Total testosterone should ideally be measured in a fasting state in the morning using a reliable assay, such as liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, in a laboratory that is certified by an accuracy-based benchmark. Free testosterone levels should be measured in men in whom alterations in binding protein concentrations are suspected or in whom total testosterone levels are only slightly above or slightly below the lower limit of the normal male range for testosterone.
