[QUOTE="madman, post: 151386, member: 13851"] 1500 TT and 35 FT.....with an SHBG 23 nmol/L.....hate to bust your bubble here but first off your FT was tested using the [B][COLOR=rgb(26, 188, 156)]direct immunoassay which is inaccurate[/COLOR][/B] and if anything you have no idea where your FT level truly sits as one would need to have FT tested using the gold standard [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)][B]Equilibrium Dialysis[/B][/COLOR] or [COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)][B]Ultrafiltration [/B][/COLOR]or better yet using the newer [SIZE=18px][B][URL='https://tru-t.org/']TruT Free Testosterone Calculator by FPT[/URL][/B][/SIZE].....which is on par in accuracy when compared to the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. [B]Your TT/FT levels are way too high for an [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]SHBG of 23 nmol/L.[/COLOR][/B] If we use the newer calculated[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B] TruT[/B][/COLOR] than taking your[B] TT 1500 ng/dL,[/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]SHBG 23 nmol/L [/B][/COLOR]and [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B]Albumin 4.3 g/dL[/B][/COLOR][B] [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)](mean) [/COLOR][/B]than your [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]FT is a whopping 56.57 ng/dL[/COLOR] (well over the top end (close to double) of the reference range [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]16-31 ng/dL[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)])[/COLOR][/B] [ATTACH=full]7670[/ATTACH] Most do well having FT levels in the 25-30 ng/dL range and yes some do better having levels in the 30-50 ng/dL range.....but most would never even need to hit 50 ng/dL.....let alone >50 ng/dL to benefit from testosterone replacement.
