[QUOTE="madman, post: 223455, member: 13851"] Guess this went over your noggin too! [B][I]* Limitations of using free testosterone by equilibrium dialysis and calculated free testosterone concentrations in practice are the lack of assay standardization, an accuracy-based quality control program, and a harmonized reference range. [U]Until these limitations are addressed, free testosterone by equilibrium dialysis and calculated free testosterone should use reference ranges established by individual laboratories or their specific assay method[/U][/I][/B] Again for the last time! My reply to previous threads: When it comes to[I] [B]blood work[/B] [/I]whether one is following a strictly sub-q protocol, strictly IM protocol let alone sub-q vs IM protocol they are following the steps needed in order to make a fair comparison. [B][U]Critical Points[/U] 1. [I]The protocol needs to be kept the same (ester/dose T/injection frequency)[/I] 2[/B]. [B][I]4-6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize before getting blood work done (6 weeks)[/I] 3.[/B] [B][I]Testing is done at the true trough[/I] 4.[/B] [B][I]Using the same lab[/I] 5.[/B] [B][I]Using the same assays (most accurate) TT/e2 (LC-MS/MS) and FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration)[/I] 6.[/B] [B][I]Each protocol needs to be given 12 weeks (claim success or failure)[/I] Only then can one make the claim whether the protocol was truly a success or failure let alone when comparing blood levels.[/B] [/QUOTE]
