    Total test.. Weird ref range??

    My buddy had his test levels checked while he was on 500 test a week this past Monday. He skipped his morning shot of 250 before the test. His last shot was Thursday prior .

    His doctors office uses their own lab and had a reference range of 150-300. He came back at 462 and they asked wtf he was on. Anyway has anyone seen that weird range?

    It must not be measured in ng/dl

    hmmm that is odd. 150 seems okay on the low side but 300???

    and 462 seems to be a normal test level on a non aas subject.

    very weird.

    Sounds like they are mixing male and female reference ranges.

    A score below above 300 ng/dl is often used as the cut-off point for TRT in males whereas a score below 150 ng/dl is used as the cut-off point for ruling out a polycystic tumor in cases of anovulation and hirsutism.

    PS sounds like your buddy either has some bunk test or a short estered test as his score should be well above 500 if he has been on his cycle long enough to establish his on-cycle test levels.
