[QUOTE="madman, post: 105568, member: 13851"] Regardless of a good percentage of the idiotic gps/endos/uros there is a reason guidelines are in place. What we have in this whole CESSPOOL :mad: of trt treatment is one end of the spectrum where the clueless gps/endos/uros are relying on reference ranges that no one can seem to agree upon what would truly be considered low t let alone reference ranges and on top of that denying trt to a patient because their testosterone is borderline low or low/normal even though the patient is clearly experiencing low t symptoms. Than you have the other end of the spectrum full of the nut bars and CHARLATANS :mad: starting men on trt at insanely high doses and over prescribing aromatase inhibitors let alone treating men that have average to descent levels that really have no issue with low t and have other factors contributing to what they think are low t symptoms such as dysfunctional thyroid or adrenal glands, unhealthy lifestyles ( excess stress (mental/physical), lack of sleep. poor diet, obesity (excess body fat), abuse of alcohol/recreational drugs and so on. So many men suffer from low t and have difficulty getting treated let alone finding a knowledgeable doctor and there are also many men whom want to jump on trt thinking testosterone is going to cure all their ailments when in fact it is not their testosterone levels causing them issues it is related to an unhealthy lifestyle or other health factors. There are reasons why most doctors will want to test a patients total t more than once on different days in a fasted state in the early am. There are inherent challenges in testosterone measurement due to: - health status of patients at time of testing (acute illness) - circadian rhythms in testosterone production - intra-individual variability - inconsistencies in the assays themselves Scroll to end of page 17 and look over the beginning of page 18 and as far as inconsistencies in the assays scroll to end of page 13 and look over pages 14-16 and you will see what testing methods for various assays regarding total t, free t, estradiol are considered GOLD STANDARD and the variation in accuracy between different assays. - [/QUOTE]
