[QUOTE="Fisher, post: 46169, member: 13701"] I live in a part of the world where mass spectrometer testing of blood samples is very rare, only in the top research labs. All my TRT has been based for years on the only test available here- immunoassay. I have recently read in the stickies here is not a reliable test for men. My doctors had no idea of course:confused: I looked into shipping frozen samples internationally, and cost was really high, over 400 dollars per sample, plus lots of paperwork. So, looking for ideas on managing TRT with the less accurate lab test. I can get the ultra-sensitive one done once a year while on holiday. Can a ratio of results be guessed from sensitive vs standard? Any other ideas? Shooting in the dark here... Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
