New labs HELP!!!!!

[Ryannt]

Hey i got some labs back today
TT 643 250-1100 ng/dl

FT percent 2.51 1.10-2.80%

FT 161.4 35.0-155.0

DHEA 223 180-1250 ng/dl

cortisol AM 19.5 4.0-22.2 mcg/dl

Estradiol 33 13-54 pg/ml

TSH 1.91 0.40-5.50 mIU/ml

Fsh 0.7 1.6-8.0 mIU/ml

LH 0.2 1.5-9.3 mIU/ml

IGF-I 348 126-382 ng/ml

prolactin 13.2 2.0-18.0 ng/ml

t-4 7.7 4.5-12.5 mcg/dl



My CBC, Urinalysis, Lipids and the rest came back all in range. I'm on 100mg of Test C EW. Seems as tho i have adrenal fatuige. Why would my Free test be high if my TT is still only 643 should i be on a higher dose of Test C to bring up my TT?

Your are probably have low SHBG, that is why your FreeT is too high.
Your prolactin is high.
DHEA low.
You may want to run my long blood test to get more info.

First you have to be thorough in you testing so you know what you are dealing with.
You may not even need testosterone.
When testing do it at Quest Diagnostics;
Check and adjust in this order
adrenals
thyroid
glucose/insulin
pituitary
gonads
==================================
But speaking of testosterone, do test at Quest
(Free BioAvailable and Total Testosterone)
if you short on any:
add HCG100IU/day, and enough testosterone so either Free or BioAvailable is at the top range but not over it. Let the other fall where it wants.
==================================

adrenals- working on them now
thyroid- In range already
glucose/insulin- In range already
pituitary
gonads

My 1st doctor had no clue and just threw me on Test with only checking TT this was before i knew anything about TRT just thought the doc new best..... My new docotor is pretty good but im trying to learn as much as i can what should i do for my adrenal glads My doctor has me on Adreset from Metagenics.

How do you know your thyroid is in range? All I see is a TSH, which by the way is a pituitary hormone, NOT a thyroid hormone. You need Free T3 AND Free T4 to get an accurate picture of thyroid condition.

For adrenals, you need more tests. An ACTH Stim test measures how well your adrenals perform under stress. Many think this would reveal adrenal conditions. At 19 for an AM cortisol, this looks to be low. Normal for men in the morning should at least be in the upper twenties, if not the lower 30's. The ranges are flawed and taken from sick people who DON'T respond well to stress. I would check out the Stop the Thyroid Madness forum in both the Adrenal, Hypopituitary, and General Thyroid Sections. Just google it. Good luck.

all they checked was
t-4 7.7 4.5 -12.5 mcg/dl
