[QUOTE="madman, post: 193827, member: 13851"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (3189).png"]12435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (3190).png"]12436[/ATTACH] The reference range was cutoff 35. His labs were done through Quest and the FT assay used was Equilibrium Dialysis. I stated earlier it was Equilibrium Ultrafiltration (post#32) but meant [U]Dialysis as the reference range is 35.0-155.0 pg/mL[/U]. He is hitting 438.1 pg/mL well over the top end although we need to understand that reference ranges can be misleading due to what I state below: [B]Unfortunately, when it comes to the reference ranges for measured or calculated FT they vary between different labs, and as of now, there is no standardization let alone a harmonized reference range. Efforts are underway to standardize the procedures for FT and to generate harmonized reference ranges. *[U]Labcorp FT assay (Equilibrium Dialysis) has a reference range of 52.0-280.0 pg/mL[/U].[/B] Keep in mind most men do well with FT in the 20-30ng/dL range and his FT is close to the mid-40s. Those are his levels when he was on the previous protocol 160 mg T every 6 days. He stated this was not true trough and labs were drawn 2-3 days later. The best piece of advice is that he will need to be sensible when it comes to the weekly dose of T injected whether he chooses to remain on injecting once every 6 days or decides to try twice weekly (every 3.5 days) or daily which seems to be where he is going with this! At least he is using accurate assays when it comes to testing which will make a big difference when looking at the bigger picture. [/QUOTE]
