[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 209599, member: 38109"] As you've seen there's no harmonization yet, so you can only directly compare results from the same test at the same lab. You can do an indirect comparison by seeing where results fall relative to their respective reference ranges. For example, you might say that your result of 150 pg/mL is at 96% of the reference range. If you're looking for a target range then it's better to consider a healthy normal reference range. For Vermeulen calculated free T this is about 10-20 ng/dL. For Tru-T it's 16-31 ng/dL. Don't hold me to it, but I think I once estimated the equivalent range for this Quest dialysis test to be about 95-155 pg/mL. In any case, it's fair to say that your measurement of 150 pg/mL is plenty high and with it you would have leeway for a reduction. [/QUOTE]
