[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 167993, member: 15832"] The truth is most men never really know why testosterone is low, it is just low and requires TRT, the other men have a reason which is testicular failure or some type of pituitary abnormality like a tumor secreting prolactin. I once read a paper on bilirubin clearance and thyroid function, the participating patients that had their thyroid hormones suppressed showed higher bilirubin levels versus those who had hyperthyroidism induced which had very fast clearance rates and very low bilirubin. It appears thyroid function plays a big part in the clearance of bilirubin among other things. The low creatinine could because of low muscle mass. The hypothyroidism typically is not responsible for low testosterone. The ESR could indicate cancerous tumors and autoimmune diseases, the high lymphocytes indicates an infection or other inflammatory condition is present. Low testosterone can increase inflammation which is one reason men with low testosterone are more likely to later develop diabetes. You can try treating the thyroid first and see if you are able to get testosterone to increase, if not it's not for a lack of trying. Then you would need to start TRT and by then your thyroid will be ready to metabolize testosterone in the liver because TRT cannot work when there are thyroid problems. [/QUOTE]
