Hey everyone, a good friend of mine recently had his testosterone levels tested. I need some help interpreting them for him.
They are as follows:
Total Test: 253 (range is 160 - 726)
Sex Hormone Binding GLOB: 15 (range is 10 - 57)
Test, Bioavail Male>17: 164 (range is 48 - 317)
Test, free calculated: 75 (range is 20 - 135)
Test, free percent: 3 (range is 1.5 - 3.2)
Albumin: 4 (range is 3.4 - 4.8)
His history: Age 37, male, never cycled, bad car accident last year and has to take Vicodin daily for back pain, Paxil for depression, currently does not work out, no sex drive, difficulty maintaining an erection (per his say!).
He sees the changes I have made to my life and my body and he wants to do the same. He wants to work out but has a SEVERE energy deficiency to a point where it is starting to interfere with his profession (banker).
What do his test results tell him?
Thanks!
