Testing how gender-affirming care affects lung function
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether gender-affirming treatments change breathing/lung test results over time. It may help doctors understand any lung-related effects for transgender and gender-diverse people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester’s Transgender and Intersex Specialty Care Clinic and you’re starting hormonal gender-affirming therapies (blockers, masculinizing, or feminizing hormones)

- You can do the breathing/lung function tests (pulmonary function tests) as instructed
- You do not have recent surgeries within the last 3 months that could interfere with lung testing
- You do not have certain recent heart or lung problems (like recent blood clot to the lung, fluid around the lung, collapsed lung, or recent heart attack)
