In women, higher testosterone levels can indicate polycystic ovarian syndrome or related conditions.

It may also be used to monitor testosterone or antiandrogen therapies in older men and in females
What is this test used for?
Bioavailable Testosterone testing measures the total amount of testosterone available to be used by the body - both free testosterone and albumin bound testosterone. Bioavailable testosterone concentration is calculated using total testosterone (measured by immunoassay) and the binding constant of testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and/or albumin.
