Nelson, thank you for responding. I apologize thinking I saw those #s on this website. I know I read somewhere where 2500 TT was considered the high end of the range, and 32 for FT the high end of the range. At 100 MG per week I did a dialysis free testosterone test and it still came up below the low side of the range. My doctor started using what’s known as Bio available free testosterone test (labCorp) which indicated 22%. increasing the dose to 150 MG per week is the only dosage that increased FT above the lower limit of the range for any test I’ve taken.
