[QUOTE="madman, post: 189788, member: 13851"] Total T (Serum): 840 ng/dL [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Free T (Direct): 9.6 pg/mL[/COLOR] Estradiol (Sensitive): 13.6 pg/mL Albumin: 4.4 IGF-1: 193 ng/mL SHBG: 58.1 nmol/L (High) DHEA Sulfate: 220 ug/dL This is a big no when it comes to testing FT especially in cases of altered SHBG (high/low) and I would not rely on the FT direct immunoassay. If anything you should be getting your FT tested as I sated above using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration if you want to know where your FT level truly sits. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]This is the fourth & fifth blood test this year and the numbers are all over the place when compared between them all.[/COLOR] As I stated in an earlier post.....It is also wise to have your T levels tested twice a few weeks apart on a different day and [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B][U]it is critical to always have your blood work done using the same lab, the same assay (accurate), same time 7-9 am when comparing blood work[/U].
