Hi, got the results of my first consultation here :
TSH : 1.93 microUI/mL (0.35 / 4.94)
LH : 2 mUI/mL (man : 1.3 / 10)
Total plasmatic testosterone : 7.04 ng/mL (1.66 / 8.77)
DHT : 0.59 ng/mL (0.33 / 1.20) or 2.03 nmol/L (1.13 / 4.13)
tested at 9 am, I’m 35, took propecia 1mg 5 years ago for 1 year.
I suppose DHT is low for my age, what do you think ?
Cheers, J.
new results of an analysis done one month after last one:
CPK : 171 UI/l (39 ; 308)
25 OH D Vitamin (D2+D3) : 19 ng/ml (30 ; 100)
Prolactin : 6 ng/ml (4 ; 15)
127 microUI/ml (85 ; 318)
estradiol : 13 pg/mol (10 ; 40)
48 pmol/l (37 ; 147)
free testosterone : 0,60 ng/ml (0,80 ; 3,20 for men between 36 and 50 years old, I’m 36)
SHBG : 58,4 nmol/l (14,5 ; 48,4 for men between 17 and 65 years old)
So, too low free test and too high SHBG : did some of you experienced similar profiles, and did you find interesting treatments ?
Thanks, guys
sorry, in the last post I ment Bioavailable instead of ‘free testosterone’
I had also a LHRH test which showed that results :
time after injection (min) / FSH (mUI/ml) / LH (mUI/ml)
0 / 2.9 / 6
30 / 3.4 / 14
60 / 3.6 / 13.8
90 / 3.7 / 11.9
120 / 3.6 / 10.3
Sorry, no reference normal values available on the results sheet, but my endo said LH should have normally raised far higher, to 30 mUI/ml, and should have gone down less quickly.
Then he prescribed an RMI that showed nothing, and he put me on TRT (but I haven’t taken it yet).
DONT start TRT before ruling out a prostate inflammation (could worsen it ultimately)
new bloodwork (28 -09-2011), one month after Kos treatment :
total calcium : 2,36 mmol/l (2,25-2,6)
phosphore : 1,26 mmol/L (0,8-1,4)
25 0H vit D : 39 microg/L (30-60)
ACTH : 24 pg/ml (<60)
oestradiol : <30 pg/ml (20-50)
total testosterone : 5,5 ng/ml (2,8-8,2)
SHBG : 67,7 nmol/l (12-45)
DHA Sulfate : 2,9 microg/ml (0,8-3,3)
Prolactin : 3,8 microg/l (3-29)
free T3 : 4,7 pmol/l (3-7)
free T4 : 17,9 pmol/l (11-23)
TSH : 2,01 mU/l (0,4-4,5)
IGF1 : 107 microg/l (100-400)
saliva cortisol (midnight) : 1,5 ng/ml
plasma cortisol : 123ng/ml
plasma cortisol (+60 min, immediate synacthene test) : 258 ng/ml
LHRH test :
t0 : 4,9 UI/l
t15’: 13,1 UI/l
t30’: 15,9 UI/l
t60’: 15,8 UI/l
endocrinologist says everything is allright.
When asking about high SHBG, she says, anyways, this test is not accurate.
You have very low free Testosterone, as other people here.
haha that’s funny. The first endocrinologist I went to said the same stupid thing. Once I asked her why we have tested it, she said: “In fact, we shouldn’t” hahahaha
yeah, hahaha !!!
Are you feeling like crap?
What are your symptoms?
Have you researched high shbg?
answer my msg please.
