My Bizarre Blood tests

[BigJimCalhoun]

See if anyone can figure this one out. Keep in mind I gave one sample of blood and got two separate T values, both Serum.


total T 827 (range 241-827)
total T again 733 (range 350 to 1030 ng/dL)
(for comparison sake, these were taken 132hours past injection, not 156 like my previous ones. Last test was @156 hours was 560 on the 241-827 scale

I would have figured that if I peg on range, I would get the other. My last T test came in at 560 @156 hours. I was using the same amount of T each time.

The upper range limit are now regarded by many to be 1100. I believe that quest has made that change, labcorp has not. My Doctor now goes by 1100.
