[QUOTE="jacb, post: 114600, member: 18836"] Well I got the starting point results and they both confuse and concern me somewhat. . The concern: PSA (Roche) [COLOR=#ff0000]4.2 ug/L[/COLOR] (Range < 3.50) ...... I better go and see my GP. Any advice? . The confusion: I thought that I needed to take two separate blood tests in order to establish my Free & Total testosterone. The blood for both tests was drawn at the same time. Now the results have come through I see that the samples were analysed by different labs within the same group. The results are. . Free Testosterone Test: [COLOR=#ffa500]Testosterone 12.3 nmol/L[/COLOR] (Range 6.7 - 26.0) SHBG 33 nmol/L (Range 13 - 71) Free Testosterone 248 pmol/L (Range 163 - 473) . Serum Testosterone Test: [COLOR=#ffa500]Testosterone 15.1 nmol/L[/COLOR] (Range 8 - 29) . My confusion is how can the Testosterone Levels (Not Free Testosterone) be different when taken from the same sample? Am I missing something? . FSH 7.8 IU/L (Range 2 - 12) LH 7.0 IU/L (Range 2 - 9) . I don't know if the ranges have been adjusted for my age: 58 . Can anyone explain to me why the Testosterone Levels are different? . From what I have read the testosterone range that would make a good working target for me is 17.3 - 20.8 nmol/L .... [COLOR=#ffa500]so one of the above test results [/COLOR]would be good whilst the other would not - Confused? [/QUOTE]
