Impact of Hormone Therapy on Laboratory Values in Transgender Patients [Endocrinology and Metabolism]

CONCLUSIONS:
Changes occur in several common laboratory parameters for patients on HT. Some laboratory values changed to match the gender identity, whereas others remained unchanged or were intermediate from the baseline values. These findings will help guide interpretation of laboratory test results in transgender patients taking HT.
