[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 163505, member: 38167"] I mentioned this in another thread, but I don’t see it being possible to accurately compute free testosterone from just SHBG, albumin and total testosterone. We know that there are other things that affect SHBG <-> testosterone binding, such as magnesium: [URL="https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ije/2014/525249/"]The Interplay between Magnesium and Testosterone in Modulating Physical Function in Men[/URL] Perhaps on a population-wide basis, a model that approximates based on SHBG, albumin and total testosterone could fit the data well. But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily accurate for a given person, especially if they’re having symptoms. I emailed the TruT team about this but haven’t heard back. While searching around on this topic, I found this study on the topic of the standard free testosterone assay and equilibrium dialysis. It concludes that it matches well and is clinically useful: [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24090209"]Free testosterone by direct and calculated measurement versus equilibrium dialysis in a clinical population. - PubMed - NCBI[/URL] [/QUOTE]
