[QUOTE="madman, post: 161183, member: 13851"] Close to optimal.....how so? The reference range is 16-31 ng/dL. As you posted with a TT 601 ng/dL and SHBG 53 nmol/L, Albumin 4.3 g/dL (mean).....than your [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]FT is 18.25 ng/dl[/COLOR] (close to bottom end of the reference range) and well under the mean mid-range level which would be 23.5 ng/dL.....FAR from OPTIMAL as you state. As you know most suffering from low-t symptoms that have low/low-normal FT levels need FT at least mid-range (23.5 ng/dL) or well above 30-30+ ng/dL to experience benefit. One can easily have low-t symptoms with a FT level 18.25 ng/dL. Again as I have stated many times before when testing FT.....the most accurate method is Equilibrium Dialysis ( [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]TruT calculated model/algorithm....."provides accurate determination of free testosterone without systematic deviation from values obtained using equilibrium dialysis"[/COLOR]) As you very well know the only way to truly know where your FT level sits is to use the most accurate testing method ED or Ultrafiltration (next best) or if anything use the newer calculated TruTmethod (on par with results obtained by the gold standard ED). Your beloved Dr. has stated that many of his patients do well having FT levels in the 30's.....and yes others are running levels in the 50-60 ng/dL range. On average many would do well with a FT level in the 30-30+ ng/dL range (top end or higher).....others may choose to run much higher levels if that is what they deem best! Do what is best for you.....my point being is that a majority of men on trt would never NEED to have their FT levels absurdly high 50-60 ng/dL to benefit from testosterone replacement. Does that mean I am against one running such levels.....absolutely not.....but I am highly doubting that a large percentage of men would NEED to run such levels to experience the beneficial effects of testosterone replacement.
