I would really ask the person that ordered these tests to go over them
with you. Not the nurse, but the provider. They can look at your
history and explain the relationships. Some of the values are good.
Free testosterone is the amount of testosterone floating around,
unbound. This makes a difference as far as either subscribing
testosterone, or seeing how much you have floating around. the Hemogram
is your hematocrit, iron and blood count. Again, the best person to
explain these tests is the provider who ordered them. Pat
