test levels

[jonny jacked]

karma for anyone who can give me the formula or link to a website to convert different readings from blood tests.

I got me test levels checked and they came back at 86ng/l (I think its ng/l)
anyway- I want to convert that to the more 'standard' unit which everyone around here uses.
thanks

The 'standard' that I've seen among the different labs is 'ng/dl'. Your results are likely already in ng/dl because if you converted ng/l to ng/dl, you'd have essentially 0 test. 86 ng/dl is very low. The range is 241-827 ng/dl. On some of the older stuff, it was 260-1000 ng/dl.

Were you expecting your result to be low?

we must be miss communicating somehow - my results are really high. normal scale is something like 8 - 20 (something)
a while back, someone posted a link to a site where you could convert different units easily. any chance anyone remembers this? or could point me in the correct direction.

If you're certain the notation on your results was "l" and not "dl" then maybe we can just use basic metric system equivalences. Ten liters equal one decaliter, so perhaps if we mutliply both sides of that result by a factor of ten we'll get an accurate result.


That would be 860ng/dl.......and that is indeed unusually high.

Sounds like that may be a Free (Unbound) Testosterine reading?...............

860ng/dl is high but not unusually high, especially if he is in early 20s, where the average test. levels are near 800ng/dl.
