Original thread: Unexpected Testosterone Test Result

@Fishsqueezee69 suggested not spending money on additional tests, but I was too curious to let it pass.

So, here are the results:

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Result: 74 nmol/L - Ref. Range: 22-77 nmol/L
Total Testosterone Result: 836 ng/dL - Ref. Range: 250-1100 ng/dL
Free Testosterone Result: 95.3 pg/mL - Ref. Range: 30.0-135.0 pg/mL

Not bad for a 70 year-old guy, right?

Looks normal. See how your SHBG is pretty high? This makes your free testosterone lower.

Well now that you know you are normal, you can stop worrying about it ;)
