Your results
A reading is only useful if you can read it.
Every marker is placed against its reference band, so you see position rather than a bare number — then a physician writes what the pattern indicates, in the language you would use yourself.
8.4pg/mL
Below the band while total testosterone reads unremarkable — the reason we measure both.
The report sheet
Position first. The number second.
A value on its own tells you almost nothing. Where it sits inside its reference band, and which way it moved since last year, tells you almost everything.

Reported
14 h after collection
Total testosterone
412ng/dL
The single number most check-ups stop at. On its own it explains very little.
Free testosterone
6.1pg/mLOutside band
The fraction actually available to your tissues.
SHBG
58nmol/LOutside band
Binds testosterone. High levels can hold a normal total number hostage.
Albumin
44g/L
The second binding protein; needed to calculate what is free.
LH — luteinising hormone
3.4IU/L
The signal from the brain. Tells us where in the chain the change sits.
FSH
4.0IU/L
The companion signal; read alongside LH.
Oestradiol
38pg/mLOutside band
Testosterone converts into it. The ratio matters more than either alone.
Prolactin
9.2ng/mL
An elevated reading changes how the rest of the panel is read.
TSH
2.1mIU/L
Thyroid output overlaps with almost every symptom people bring to us.
The written reading
What a physician actually sends you.
Physician's note
"Your total testosterone is unremarkable on its own, but SHBG is high and free testosterone is correspondingly low — which is consistent with what you described. This is worth discussing with an endocrinologist; I have written the specific questions to ask on the following page."

What it indicates
Written in plain language, without naming a condition you have not been diagnosed with.
What to do next
Concrete: repeat in three months, or bring these questions to an endocrinologist.
What to compare against
Your own previous reading, once you have one. That trend is the real product.
Illustrative example. Markers indicate patterns; they do not diagnose.
Ready when you are
Numbers you can act on, not a file you can't open.
Every panel is read as one picture by a PRC-licensed physician and written up within 24 hours of the draw.
