I had bloodwork done at my last physical and am now scheduled to see an endo for low test. I looked over the results and they read as follows:
Testosterone, serum - 629 ng/dL = [range = 249-836 ng/dL]
Free testosterone (Direct) - 7.8 pg/mL = [range = 9.3 - 26.5 pg/mL]
For the guys on HRT, did your endo base treatment off of total test, or free test? It seems to me that free test is the important one.
I've been reading more about it, just trying to get a feel for what to expect and figure out what questions I need to ask. All other bloodwork looks great, all other values are right in the middle of the range. BP was 97/58.
If total test is normal and free test is low, could there be another treatment to free up the bound test or is it more likely they will prescribe HRT?
