Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Normal (men)	300–1000 ng/dL	Normal testosterone
Low-normal	300–450 ng/dL	Borderline — interpret with symptoms and Free T
Low	Below 300 ng/dL	Hypogonadism — TRT may be warranted with symptoms

Indian-Specific Context

Low testosterone is heavily underdiagnosed in India — most men attribute symptoms to "stress" or "age." At Gini, Dr. Nitin Aggarwal tests Total + Free Testosterone + SHBG together for complete picture.

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's Total Testosterone costs ₹350. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your Total Testosterone is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Nitin Aggarwal's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
