SHBG Price in Bangladesh

What is SHBG?

The SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) test measures the level of SHBG in the blood, which binds to sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. It helps assess hormone imbalances, liver function, and conditions like PCOS or hypothyroidism.

No special preparation is required. A blood sample is drawn from a vein, which may cause mild discomfort or bruising.

Results show whether SHBG levels are low or high, which can indicate underlying health issues like liver disease, hormonal disorders, or metabolic conditions. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine any necessary treatment or follow-up.

What to expect & how to prepare

SHBG is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your SHBG result rather than self-diagnosing.
