[QUOTE="madman, post: 275702, member: 13851"] This is the only set of labs that matters as it is your most recent (Jan 11/2024). Unfortunately, you are missing the most critical blood marker free testosterone. Keep in mind that although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of T responsible for the positive effects. Your TT converted is 405 ng/dL but unfortunately, we have no idea where your FT level sits as it was never tested. You would need to have your FT tested using an accurate assay such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration, especially in cases of altered SHBG to know where it truly sits. If you do not have access to such in your country then you will need to use/rely upon the calculated method (cFTV). Keep in mind as of now cFTV tends to overestimate when compared against a standardized gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis assay. Even then we could have calculated it using the cFTV if we had your SHBG and Albumin mind you we can use the default for Albumin 4.3 g/dL. Unfortunately, you never had your SHBG tested. You need to get another set of labs done and test FT or find out where your SHBG and Albumin sit so you can calculate it as this can be done online for free.
