Thanks for the info Brenda.  Good to hear what they are aiming for anyway.  To my mind that does differ a lot to waht we consider high here.  1000 ng/dl (50 nmol/L ) is the highest epxected level at 7-8am before meds here from what our Endo says --or rather what he is aiming for.  Anything higher and it is off track and needs to be monitored in a child this age.  Pre pubertal.  When in puberty, the levels naturally rise anyway I would have thought, so I am glad you posted to say it is expected within 2000 ng/dl as I know what to expect when Ashley starts to go through puberty.  I certainly don’t expect the ranges to be the same or go as low as they are now at 20nmol/l and 30nmol/L seems not much higher considering we have had results back more in the 40’s and fities at this stage than any other time---and Ashley isn’t even remotely anywhere near puberty yet which to me was a good sign that we have a little more growth in him than I thought. 

So if he went into puberty at some point, I’d expect it was because he was certainly having results come back at more than 50 nmol/L.

2000 ng/dl is not very high though when you consider that a 15yo whom they say has completed growth and has matured as much as he is going to do, when as one of the Doctors here told us that it isn’t unsual for an adult male to have levels of 15’000.  I would expect therefore when growth is complete to have results five times higher than 2000 ng/dl?  ( I’d love to find out if the 15’000 ng/dl levels in an average male is true first of all).  I may just see if I can find something about reference ranges in adult males later on out of curiosity now.  LOL!
