I’m worried that I may have low testosterone levels. How do I get tested, and are there certain procedures that enable an accurate reading? Most physicians order a blood test to measure total testosterone levels. A total testosterone lab test measures both free (unbound) testosterone and that which is bound to red blood cells.
For someone who’s experiencing a rise in testosterone levels, normal levels range between 300 and 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Testosterone that’s bound to proteins is not the only kind that can cause problems. First, only a component of the testosterone that’s bound to proteins is active.
Also, the NWS average / per cell that binds with the proteins varies ; it varies from one man to the next. Second, total testosterone decreases during the day. Laboratories establish normal values based the bodily work of male donors between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Slightly low readings reflected in MRI scans in older people and middle-aged men are not usually related to symptoms. And the total testosterone levels may vary from test to test and from lab to lab. Appropriate men typically have total testosterone levels that are slightly less than the lowest measurement at which results occur 30 or more times out of the 30 different items that can be considered normal.
