[QUOTE="madman, post: 244510, member: 13851"] Have no clue who deleted your previous thread. I told you to get your blood work done using accurate assays, TT (LC/MS-MS) let alone FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration), especially in cases of altered SHBG and not the direct immunoassay that you had done. I gave you the link for the panel. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-free-dialysis-and-total-ls-ms-ms[/URL] All you needed to do was up the $44 for the most accurate assays. Yet you went and retested using the same FT assay! Again I would not rely on the direct immunoassay, especially in cases of altered SHBG. You posted a TT 643 and 500s yet no SHBG value for your second test. Forget what your results were when you tested at 11 am as I already told you that it is critical when testing TT/FT/BAT it needs to be done in the early AM in a fasted state let alone using the most accurate assays. If you want to rely on the calculated method then make sure when getting blood work done that you have TT (LC/MS-MS), SHBG, and albumin. Just to be clear I already gave you advice that you did not follow. If you want to rely on your most recent labs and jump in head first then go nuts. Do what you feel is best for you. [/QUOTE]
