I'd like to understand what the 112% means and why my shbg is so low. I'm 26 y.o. thanks for any help.
Maybe i should mention that the blood was collected at 10:30 am the day after i hit a new squat pr of 460. So i was feeling at my peak of strength. Or maybe the pr "burned up" some testosterone. I don't know how working out affects testosterone in the short term.
It probably doesn't mean anything or it might mean something. Still, It's not "ZOMG THIS IS SO HIGH WHAT SHALL I DO", especially considering the lab error bar. Your SHBG is also not super low.
The above is for entertainment only and does not constitute medical advice. The OP has failed to catch the hint that posting random lab values with no context, units, previous medical history, or formal relationship with the physician, etc. is in poor form. Yet, he persisted and so an "answer" was rendered.
1) Yours is not low. It's in the reference range.
2) You already said you're not obese and are therefore low risk for insulin resistance given your demographic.
3) The lab cannot clinically correlate this unless your doctor works at the lab.
This is one of those times where I wish we were speaking face to face because it'd be much easier to understand what I'm saying. Additionally, I wish people in positions of influence would stop saying things similar to or insinuating that a higher testosterone level is better (within the normal range).
