[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 217654, member: 38109"] If the test method is not equilibrium dialysis or ultrafiltration then you are better off using the calculators. This isn't the case. The Vermeulen calculator you mentioned now puts your free testosterone at 21 ng/dL, which is quite robust considering the reference range is about 8-23. For further comparison, the Tru-T calculator puts free testosterone at 45 ng/dL, with a healthy normal range of 16-31. That's a remarkable increase if accurate, and suggests there's little chance you're currently hypogonadal. Quite the contrary, with free testosterone apparently now in the top few percent even among young men. Even if you needed to raise free testosterone, the newer thinking is that changing SHBG in isolation does not affect free testosterone. Rather, if you lower SHBG it simply pushes down total testosterone. The fact that SHBG dropped only 10% with such as big increase in testosterone does suggest it's fairly intractable in your case. Fortunately high SHBG with normal free testosterone may not be much of a problem. [/QUOTE]
