[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 117873"] There are definitely numerous red flags on your blood work. Are you overweight? Lymphocytes are high. These are a special part of your white blood cells. They tend to increase when we are sick or have an infection. Could just be temporary increase? Glucose is twice the upper limit at 207. Have you had your A1C checked recently? Are you on diabetic medication? I am sure you aren't with glucose that high. The lipid panel is terrible, especially the VLDL and the Triglycerides. I am guessing you are not on statins. Looking at your lipids and high glucose I'd have serious concerns about your diet. I am really surprised your Free T came back at 26.5 when your Total T is only 225. One of those numbers appears to be wrong, I would guess it would be the Free T. Based on your Total T, SHBG, and Albumin, your more accurate Free T would be 4.62 and 2.05% of your Total T. I just can't see it being 26.5, however, a lot of your other numbers are way out of whack. DHEA is high and over range but I don't really see that as a real issue. It surely isn;t making your Estradiol Sensitive too high. Your E2 is very low at 9.8. Since I am guessing you are overweight I would expect your E2 to me much higher. IGF-1 is too low at at the very lowest of the range. SHBG is at 25.8 which is in the low normal range but like I said, E2 is very low at 9.2, almost completely blow the range. Your Hemoglobin and Hematocrit are high especially if you are not yet on TRT. You will need to monitor that carefully. How do you feel with your glucose and lipids where they are? I don't see any thyroid panel and based on what I am seeing in your blood work I would tend to believe your thyroid is not performing well. You really need a full thyroid panel to include: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and both thyroid antibodies. I am no doctor and these are just my personal thoughts and what I would be concerned about. [/QUOTE]
