[QUOTE="madman, post: 196583, member: 13851"] Post labs with reference ranges. When it comes to FT the only way to know where it truly sits is to have it tested using an accurate assay such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration. I would not rely on the piss poor direct immunoassay let alone outdated calculated methods especially in cases of altered SHBG. You most likely had this test panel done at Quest which includes TT (Immunoassay), FT/Bioavailable (calculated cFTV).

These are the assays you want to use when testing FT and they also include TT (LC/MS-MS). You can get them through Nelsons Discountedlabs. Either would suffice! 1.

[URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-free-dialysis-and-total-ls-ms-ms']Testosterone, Total, LC/MS and Free (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration)[/URL] If you did not use the assays listed above then I would retest before jumping to any conclusions as to where your FT level sits.
