Ignore it: The normal ranges are those set for the majority of healthy people, but not all. If you feel well, i'd ignore all of these -- even the fad c-reactive protein which is alleged to be a minor coronary risk factor. The low mean platelet volume means nothing whatever and if you feel well, ignore the eosinophils; if your sexual function is okay for you, that's a more reliable measure of testosterone.

Nothing jumps out.: Might be normal. Platelet volume is not anywhere near as important as platelet function and number. Eosinophils suggest allergy or invasive parasites although more likely just normal variation. The CPR (sic) is very nonspecific. Free testosterone of 0.2 ng/dl could be normal for obese or elderly individual. The test should have been done at 0800. It should repeated to ensure accuracy.

CRP: The only one of those results that peaks my attention is the elevated crp. That indicates an inflammatory condition in your body and your doctor will probably have some ideas of what systems to further assess. The low testosterone isn't very specific so it should be repeated as a total and free testosterone in early A.M.
