Help understanding my Test labs please

**iGoHard508** · 03-12-2011, 03:22 PM

I just got some labs back from my doctor, one of which is my test levels.

Testosterone , Total, LC/MS/MS- 502ng/dL

Free Testosterone- 98.4pg/mL

I really don't understand the difference and my doctor didn't exactly elaborate on it for me. Also is this high/low/normal?

Thanks

Your doctor should be happy to explain the labwork, most charts with labwork show a range that is normal then your value. Does your chart have these? Anyway a lot depends on your age but from the little I know. Assuming you are 30 something what is weird is that your total test is in the lower 1/3 rd or average but your free test is very very high.

I don't know what would explain this, have you done AAS or PCT recently? Maybe someone with more knowlege can shed some light on this.

I am 26 years old and have done AAS before but it has been well over a years since my last cycle. My doctors appointment had nothing to do with my test levels, it was for other things, I actually asked to get my test done as well because of my prior AAS use. I believe that is why my doctor didn't really go over that portion with me. She basically just said everything seems to be normal. I did have very low vitamin D tho(25ng/mL). And my liver enzymes were also elevated. AST-39U/L ALT-80U/L.

Any experts on this subject?

Range for Total Test is usually 249-836ng/dL

Range for Free Test is usually 9.3-26.5pg/mL

Total test is just the total amount of testosterone circulating your body, free test is the amount that is not bounded and able to be used readily by the body.
