Hey Guys,
I have told you my story before, I cannot get my FT up at all, even though TT can be high. SHBG is extremely low. i am currently taking 1/4
androgel packet. More than this makes my FT go lower (very strange)and i feel worse. However i have now got some tests done on Bioavaiable
Test:
TT: 10.5 nmol/l (5.5-22)
FT 64.2 pmol/l (49-149)
Bioavailable T: 7.07 nmol/l (4-9)
My SHBG is <5nmol/l (17-75)
(i have had at least two different labs do all of these tests so they are not wrong)
From what i have read Biovailable T should be around 35% of TT, and SHBG bound T should be 65%, FT around 2%.
In my case Bioavailable T is 67% and SHBG bound is 33%. This means that there is far too much of my
test bound to Albumin?
My albumin levels are high normal though 46noml/l (35-50) I didnt think this would be causing this problem?
I have heavily abused oral steroids in the past.
anyone.....?
