The point is we don't have an appropriate assessment of his TT levels for each case to allow a means comparison.  We have n=1 and there's no ability to draw a statistically meaningful conclusion from these data.  There is variability in the method and variability with the patient.  My 7 day trough TT value is 600 ng/dl +/- 100 ng/dl after many replicates with same lab and assay and same protocol.  So you would design a study to get replicates at SS for both cases which would allow a means comparison and determine...


1.  Was his TT level different for the two cases? Use student  t-test or other more sophisticated means comparison method.

2. Using accurate fT method or cfT calc,  was his fT levels different?


But of course we shouldn't discourage our members from collecting and reporting these data.  It's great just incomplete (again not knocking the OP unless he is a trained scientist).
