I got back several blood hormonal tests. I was wondering if you guys could help me make sense of them

ESTRADIOL 12/05/2018 (#745329, Final)
Report Result Ref. Range Units Status Lab
ESTRADIOL 19 < OR = 39 pg/mL Normal Final TBR

     Reference range established on post-pubertal patient
     population. No pre-pubertal reference range established
     using this assay. For any patients for whom low estradiol
     levels are anticipated (e.g. males, pre-pubertal children,
     and hypogonadal/post-menopausal females), the Quest
     Diagnostics Nichols Institute Estradiol, Ultrasensitive,
     LC/MS/MS assay is recommended (Order code 30289X).

     Please note: patients being treated with the drug
     fulvestrant (Faslodex(R)) have demonstrated significant
     interference in immunoassay methods for estradiol
     measurement. The cross reactivity could lead to falsely
     elevated estradiol test results leading to an
     inappropriate clinical assessment of estrogen status.
     Quest Diagnostics order code 30289X-Estradiol,
     Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS demonstrates negligible cross
     reactivity with fulvestrant.

This is a lot of stuff. I am no expert, an Endocrinologist would be best to make sense of this mate. And if required they’d prescribe you medication to boost T etc.

I say talk to your endocrinologist or GP get his professional opinion. And it’s best to get their opinion before self medicating.

#17

Your Estradiol and catecholamines, FSH and LH are within range. As for cortisol the stress hormone it’s also within normal range.

I can say one thing for sure.

Your urine analysis is all clear. So you don’t have a Urinary Tract infection.

As for the hormones best to consult an Endocrinologist mate :slight_smile:

CHOLESTEROL/HDL RATIO 4.4 <5.0 calc Normal Final TBR
LDL CHOL, CALCULATED 164 <100 mg/dL High Final TBR

     LDL-C is now calculated using the Martin-Hopkins calculation,
     which is a validated novel method providing better accuracy
     than the Friedewald equation in the estimation of LDL-C.

     (LDL-C of <70 mg/dL) is considered a therapeutic

Unfortunately I dont have any old tests to compare against

#24

How did you get your dopamine tested? I thought neurotransmitters in the brain can’t be tested. I’d like to this as well. Also, seems like a lot of us are low on Vit D.

#25

It was part of a blood test as far as Iknow. All I know is that they litterally filled about 14 vials of blood and 1 cup of pee.

#26

Wow what did you ask for to get such comprehensive testing? Was this from your GP?

#27

Yes… I told them about PFS and said I want to know every possible level of hormone etc… My goal was to find what was causing my insomnia. It seems like its stemming from low T but who knows. I see an Endo on 12/30 and hopefully they will have some insight.

As for Vit D… I take 5000iu a day… sometimes I double it to 10000. Hard to believe I’m barely in range.

#29

So you have the VDR mutation? I do and my Vit D is always low

#30

what is a VDR mutation

#31

your vitamin D is fine

#32

I thought it would be higher considering I take a minimum of 5000iu a day and twice a week I bump it to 10,000iu.

#33

try 10,000 ED. thats what i do, it rides around 40-45. but i have a vitamin d mutation
