My total testosterone is 886 ng/dl (900 is the top of the ref range), shbg = 67.67 nmol/l ( 18,30-54,10), albumin = 5.3 g/dL;
I also tested my free testosterone and the lab result was 12.0 ng/l (8,30-40,10). If I convert it to ng/dl, that will be 1.2 ng/dl. This means that my FT/TT = 0.14% even though both TT & FT are in the normal range. Is this possible?
I talked to the lab and they asked their doctor to check if there is a mistake with the measurement unit and he said everything is ok. I'm not sure though...
I suspect that my FT should be 12.0 ng/dl (not ng/l). Then my FT/TT will be 1.4%, which is much more realistic. Also when I use this calculator:

and plug in my numbers, my FT is calculated as being 11.6 ng/dL = 1.31 %, which is much closer to 12 ng/dl, than to 12 ng/l. Bioavailable T = 332 ng/dL = 37.5 %.
Any thoughts on this issue?
