Low free T What does it mean?

[Guest guest]

Results of recent blood test shows

testosterone 416 (240-950)

Free T 9.2 (9-30)

the ratio shows %free T as 2.2% well with in normal. Based on those results the

doctor ordered:

ESTR 21.2 (<20-47)

DHEA 68.1 (25-131)

E-1 24 (10-60)

E-2 18 (10-40)

SHGB 32 (10-60)

These all seem like nicely mid range.

I am 70 YO male with no particular low T symptoms except maybe mild ED that may

be age related. Total T has been in the 416 to 523 range since I started

thyroid replacement (180 mg. nature-throid). Before that it had been as low as

125. Is the low free T number anything significant?

Some other results

TSH .015 (.38-6.38)

FT3 3.1 (1.8-5.6)

FT4 .89 (.61-1.12)

triglycerid 46 (0-140)

cholesterol 161 (0-199)

HDL 64 (>40)

LDL 88 (<130)

PSA 2.27 (0-4)

Doctor does not like TSH number. I don't care FT3 and FT4 are mid range.

Doctor would like LDL <70 I enjoy my ice cream.
