TransRIHTS – Trans & Non-binary Reference Intervals while on Hormone Therapy Study

What was the purpose of the study?

The TransRIHTS study was finding out the normal results for common blood tests in trans and non-binary people who are taking hormone therapy. These normal results are also called “reference intervals”. Finding these out may allow doctors to diagnose diseases more accurately.

Can I take part?

Unfortunately, you can no longer take part. The TransRIHTS study finished recruiting participants on 14th May 2024.

When will the results be available?

We aim to publish the findings in peer reviewed journals in late 2024. A plain English summary will be made available at the same time. They will be available on this page and they will be sent by email to participants who asked for them.
