[QUOTE="madman, post: 87853, member: 13851"] Total T range 195-836 ng/dl and the mean (mid/normal) would be 515.5 ng/dl. Your level of 380 ng/dl is basically in the grey zone (8-12 nmol/L or 230-400 ng/dl) that most knowledgeable doctors would consider putting a patient experiencing low t symptoms on trt. Your levels are low for your age but free t is what is critical as it is the fraction that is usable by the cells and total is only part of the overall picture as some can have descent total t levels but low free t and end up suffering from low t symptoms. You need to get blood work done again to include total t (testing early in the am as in 7-8am as soon as labs open) to get an accurate reading of your peak as I am not sure what time you had your bloods done resulting in your 380 ng/dl total t as if you were tested later in the day as in noon/evening than total t levels tend to be up to 30% lower in younger males. You also need free t/estradiol (sensitive)/LH and FSH/prolactin/shbg/dht/dhea/vitamin d/psa(prostate specific antigen) and a cbc(complete blood count) including hematocrit/hemoglobin(critical when on trt).
