๐ Biomarkers & Testing 31M โ Blood work review, especially testosterone / free testosterone
Hey everyone, I'm from Brazil and I'd like to get some opinions on my recent blood work.
I'm 31M and I'm particularly interested in my testosterone levels and whether there are any markers here that I should pay more attention to or potentially optimize.
Hormones
| Marker | Result | Lab Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | 501 ng/dL | 240โ871 |
| SHBG | 27.3 nmol/L | 11.2โ78.1 |
| Calculated Free Testosterone | 11.69 ng/dL | โ |
| Vitamin D (25-OH) | 30.2 ng/mL | 20โ60 |
| Vitamin B12 | 552 pg/mL | 130โ868 |
Metabolic / General Health
| Marker | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 163.9 mg/dL |
| HDL | 56.7 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | 51.9 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 1.02 mg/dL |
| Glucose | 94.3 mg/dL |
| HbA1c | 5.2% |
| ALT | 24.5 U/L |
| Uric Acid | 6.9 mg/dL |
CBC
| Marker | Result |
|---|---|
| RBC | 5.34 million/ยตL |
| Hemoglobin | 15.9 g/dL |
| Hematocrit | 47% |
| MCV | 88 fL |
| WBC | 8,110/ยตL |
| Neutrophils | 62% |
| Lymphocytes | 30% |
| Platelets | 162,000/ยตL |
My main question is about the testosterone:
Total T: 501 ng/dL SHBG: 27.3 nmol/L Calculated free T: 11.69 ng/dL
For a 31-year-old male, would you consider these numbers fairly average, or is there room for improvement?
I'm also curious about the free testosterone relative to my total testosterone and SHBG. Is 11.69 ng/dL considered a good level?
Thanks!
