Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am 58 years old and just got the lab results on my testosterone levels. Total was 221 ng/dl - Yikes. Free testosterone was 52.2 pg/ml and the % free testosterone was 2.36. In a brief phone call from my primary today he seemed to think the fact that my % of free to total testerone was higher than the top of the reference range, was the most important thing. I'm thinking that while the percentage may be high - the denominator (221) was so low that it's worth it to go see someone who deals with low T routinely. Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 you're absolutely correct; and, tell your doctor to lose his license, or to go take a few more logic/philosophy classes... his common sense and rational is disappointing...
