TT= 954.85 ng/mL
FT= 66.40 pg/mL
E2= 78.91 pg/mL
SHBG= 26.90 nmol/L
As I have stated numerous times on the forum if you do not have access to the most accurate assays (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration) for testing FT then you need to use/rely upon the cFTV.
The direct immunoassay should not be used.
Again with a very high TT 954.8 ng/dL, normalish SHBG 26.9 nmol/L, and default Albumin 4.3 g/dL your cFTV 25.4 ng/dL would be high!

No way in hell that someone hitting a TT almost 1000 ng/dL with normal SHBG is going to have low let alone sub-par FT!
Again even if one had high SHBG 60 nmol/L with a TT 1000 ng/dL their FT 16.3 ng/dL would still be healthy.
Most healthy young males are hitting a cFTV 13-15 ng/dL and this is at the short-lived peak!
