[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 197502, member: 38109"] Are you comparing free testosterone results from the same assay by the same lab? If not it's a fruitless exercise; different methods for determining free T are not directly comparable. The best you can do is see where each measurement falls relative to its respective reference range. In addition, the standard direct free T tests are too inaccurate to use, leaving equilibrium dialysis or ultrafiltration. The free T calculators are usable even if imperfect, but ideally the source T, SHBG and albumin should still be measured with the same assays by the same lab. Was your albumin previously this high? A value of 5 g/dL can drop free testosterone by 10-15% compared to a more typical 4.3 g/dL. [/QUOTE]
