[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 278991, member: 38109"] RIA for SHBG and total testosterone is fine. These tests are accurate enough in most cases. I should amend my response above to say that properly done RIA can be accurate, as demonstrated [URL='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24090209/']here[/URL], but you may not be able to evaluate whether yours was done right. Thus I would still consider Vermeulen FT the most robust way to monitor free testosterone. Note that in the study they found "Numerical values for RIA were approximately one seventh of EqD values." In other words, in the best case RIA is measuring some proxy for free testosterone that is reasonably linear with free testosterone. [/QUOTE]
