[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 202545, member: 16042"] I've been having Labcorp's free direct test all along and it seemed pretty on par with SHBG and Total T. Results were pretty consistent at and just a bit over "normal range, and in agreement with TruT calculator. However, I currently have a unique situation. I have leukemia, and from that, anemia, and as a result of that, iron overload from all the transfusions. These things along with the powerful cancer and bone marrow stimulating drugs have thrown off many aspects of my blood chemistry. Part of this is alarmingly high SHBG. -SHBG 138. -Total T 1397 -Labcorp Free T direct 7.1 But plugging the numbers into TruT calculator, the Free T was 37.35, still above their "normal range" So what to do with such wild variation? I got a Labcorp Testosterone LC/MS/MS with Free-T ultrafiltration. -Total T 1385, -Labcorp Free T Ultrafiltration 32.96. What would you do regarding Free T direct? I know what I'll be doing from here on. [/QUOTE]
