[QUOTE="madman, post: 154215, member: 13851"] Dangerous.....highly doubtful as even if ones FT is above the reference range.....very rare one would have extremely high supra-physiological FT levels using trt doses 100-200 mg/week.....and even than highly doubtful steroid doses of T as in 300-600 mg/week would cause any serious issues in the short term. Most men will do well having FT at trough in the 30 ng/dl range (top end) and some may need/choose to run higher levels in the 30-50 ng/dL range (in some cases well over the top end).....but even than it would not be dangerous.....if anything many would not need a FT trough of 50---->50+ng/dl to benefit from testosterone replacement therapy. If one truly feels better running higher FT levels and blood markers are healthy than do what is best for you! The direct immunoassay is inaccurate and has been shown to underestimate FT levels when compared to the gold standard testing method Equilibrium Dialysis. If you truly want to know where your FT levels sit you would need to use the most accurate testing methods such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) or simply use the newer calculated TruT method as the model is based on the newer understanding of SHBG:T binding. Results using the newer Tru T calculated method have been shown to be on par with results obtained by the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. [/QUOTE]
