Venient Fx Hormonal Balance and Reproductive Function Comprehensive - Male

Test Description

Venient Fx Hormonal Balance and Reproductive Function Comprehensive (Male) is a disruptive, non-invasive test that provides comprehensive information on hormone balance, reproductive function, training status, and athletic profile. 

It is based on a routine blood analysis and is powered by both proprietary machine learning and public algorithms, and provides highly accurate broad diagnostic information, including the likelihood of having different types of male reproductive dysfunctions, establishing its hormonal cause. It also assesses the strength and training status of the patient.

It is based primarily on the determination of the free androgenic index (FAI) and the free PSA/total PSA ratio, although it also incorporates the determination of many other male reproductive function hormones and other analytes.

It is an Evidence Based Laboratory Medicine (EBML) test developed not only in accordance with the guidelines of the American Urological Association (AUA), but also incorporating the latest scientific findings.
