My doctor only provided the test result numbers... No ranges. However, it does say that my Vitamin D is low and glucose is high. When she mails the lab results I will update ranges if they are available on the exam sheet.
Please edit and add the lab reference ranges.

Thank you.
 
I imagine additional results are pending such as fasting lipid panel PSA and CBC. Based on your other thread high Triglycerides and LDL are likely. If that's the case I'd discuss Lovaza with the MD. Kidney function looks good. If you can get T up a bit higher perhaps you can put off HRT for a while. How you feel is a big part of that decision.

Were you prescribed cholcalciferol?
 
Like Gene mentioned, we need the reference ranges, especially with the FT3 & FT4 thyroid results. The TSH number is fairly universal, and it definitely has my attention to want to see the other thyroid labs, along with Reverse T3 and antibodies if possible?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
