[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 262354, member: 38594"] Most probably your total testosterone is measured in nmol/L. The conversion factor for testosterone is 1 nmol/L = 28.85 ng/dL. 7.9 nmol/L x 28.85 = 228 ng/dL which is below the typical low testosterone cutoff of 300 ng/dL Your lab lists the normal range interval as [5.2, 23.7] nmol/L x 28.85 = [150, 684] ng/dL - these limits are a bit low for a normal range. Your creatinine could be high because you eat a lot of meat or take creatine supplements or protein shakes with creatine or drugs that increase it. Some infections may also increase creatinine. The eGFR is entirely calculated from creatinine so it means nothing if your creatinine is artificially elevated by supplements - in such cases you have to do Cystatin C test which is not affected by supplements. What kind of a diet are you on? Your triglycerides and Hemoglobin 1Ac are high which suggests too much sugar/junk food consumption. [/QUOTE]
