Well, I'm 30 years old and im starting to go bald. So, I talked to some people, did some research, and thought it could be DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) related. So I went to my doctor and asked for a blood test which checked many things, and now I'm wondering if somebody can help me read this and tell me exactly what this means.
Testosterone: 14.9nmol/L (9.0-38.0) --> it seems within the range
Free Testosterone: 528 pmol/L (250-800) --> it seems within the range
SrabroadG: 8nmol/L (9-60) LL --> it seems low. Why? what does it mean? I do need to lose some weight and get my Cholesterol level a bit lower (and im working on that and geting good results so far)
FAI: 1863 (>400) --> this seems very high, almost 5x higher than the min. What does this mean? Is it just a result of low SrabroadG and geting my SrabroadG with proper diet and weight loss back on track will fix my FAI?
Free T4: 17 pmol/L (10-24) --> it seems within the range
TSH: 3.3mIU/L (0.4-4) --> it seems within the range
Free T3: 5.0 pmol/L (2.5 - 6.0) --> it seems within the range
Glucose: 4.4 nmol/L (3.5-6) --> it seems within the range
All this was done while fasting for 12hrs, along with Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesteral, which showed me a bit of a high bad cholesterol ratio (which I have now been working on by changing my dieting, exercising more and losing 9kg of weight, for the last 3 months, which is when this test was done)
So, everything seems fine, except for the cholesterol, which im going to check again next week (in order to see improvements due to changes ive made in the last 3 months) and the FAI and SrabroadG. I've read about them, but I'm still not too sure what my levels of FAI and SrabroadG means. I do understand the cholesterol though.
thank you
