Testosterone Is Only "192 ng/dL" 42 Year Old Male..What Other Tests?

[burnoutat42]

Hey Guys

I just received my blood work back this morning and my it appears my testosterone is only 192 ng/dL. My question is what additional tests should I purchase via discountedlabs.com? I have also reached out to "Defylowt" as of this morning and will wait to hear back from them!

Cheers

Post those labs you received such that we can have a worthwhile conversation...saying it's 192 isn't worth a whole lot.

Total and free testosterone (LC/MS assay. No upper limit restriction)

- Sex hormone binding globulin

- Estradiol (sensitive- LC/MS assay)

- CBC (includes glucose, hematocrit and immune cells)

- CMP (includes liver and kidney function)

- Lipids (LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides)

You can add PSA, DHEA-S, DHT and free T4 and free T3 in the menu below for a fuller view at your response to TRT.

Below is all "The Test" via PDF states with respect to "Testosterone"? Did my DR order the wrong test, or perhaps the initial test is extremely simplistic?

Testosterone, Serum 192 Low ng/dL 264 - 916 01 Adult male reference interval is based on a population of healthy nonobese males (BMI <30) between 19 and 39 years old. Travison, et.al. JCEM 2017,102;1161-1173. PMID: 28324103.
