LH (Luteinizing Hormone) Diagnostic Test Panel

The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Test measures the concentration of LH in your blood, a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland. In females, LH plays a key role in triggering ovulation and regulating the menstrual cycle. In males, LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone. Testing LH levels is essential for evaluating fertility issues, pituitary function, and reproductive health conditions.

Key Indications for Testing:

• Evaluating female fertility, menstrual irregularities, and ovulation status
• Assessing male fertility and low testosterone levels
• Evaluating suspected Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or menopause status
• Investigating premature or delayed puberty in children
