Title: how to read the hormone panel results
Post by: Blaire on August 20, 2009, 08:33:04 AM
recently i had a hormone panel done, i received a copy of the lab results. i noticed that they have me listed as male. a friend of mine got her's and she's listed as female. some of the limits are different as well as the catagories. so my question is this: should i be listed as female or male or both since i am at this point kinda both.

do any of you know how to read this data?

any help will be appreciated ;D

Total testosterone for males

14–15 years
100–540 ng/dL (3.47–18.74 nmol/L)

16–19 years
200–970 ng/dL (6.94–33.66 nmol/L)

20–39 years
270–1,080 ng/dL (9.00–37.48 nmol/L)

40–59 years
350–890 ng/dL (12.15–30.88 nmol/ L)

60 years and older
350–720 ng/dL (12.15–24.98 nmol/L)

Total testosterone for females
Age Female
1 month to puberty
Less than 10 ng/dL (less than 0.35 nmol/L)

7–9 years
1–12 ng/dL (0.04–0.42 nmol/L)

10–13 years
2–53 ng/dL (0.07–1.84 nmol/L)

14–17 years

Premenopausal
10–70 ng/dL (0.35–2.43 nmol/L)

Postmenopausal
7–40 ng/dL (0.24–1.39 nmol/L)

Normal Estradiol ranges for women/men from WebMD
Picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) / Picomoles per liter (pmol/L)

Women before menopause: 30–400 / 110–1,468

Women after menopause: 0–30 / 0–110

Men: 10–50 / 37–184

Children: 0–15 / 0–55

Quote from: from elsewhere
Taken from Kiera's data,
QuotePremenopausal
10–70 ng/dL (0.35–2.43 nmol/L)

IF you develop ratios you will find 7/.24=29 and 70/2.43=29.

Therefore 23/29=.79

23 ng/dl is equivalent to .79 nmol/L

Kiera thanks for the data!

My doctor sent me to a lab to get my bloodwork done. She explained the results to me (you might wanna do the same). They were still a bit confusing though.

Also, with the womens estradiol ranges.  They are different during the cycles during the month.

I don't have the data with me, so I can't give it to you.



Also, I am listed as female even though I have not had SRS yet.
