Total Testosterone

Total testosterone is the primary metric for dose titration on TRT. Levels above 1100 ng/dL substantially increase aromatization to estradiol and raise hematocrit, while levels below 600 ng/dL often fail to resolve hypogonadal symptoms.

Supraphysiologic peaks (>1200 ng/dL) from esterified injections increase cardiovascular and hematologic risk without proportional benefit.
