What is the LH Test?
The Luteinising Hormone (LH) test measures the level of LH, a hormone involved in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women and sperm production in men. It plays a key role in fertility and reproductive health.
What is an LH Report Format?
An LH report presents the measured LH level in the blood, typically in international units per milliliter (IU/mL), compared to the reference range for assessing reproductive function.
Tests Included in LH Report
Test | Description |
LH | Measures the concentration of luteinising hormone in the blood, essential for reproductive health. |
Key Parts of an LH Report
Key Part | Description |
LH Level | The amount of LH in the blood, typically measured in IU/mL. |
Normal Range | The reference range for LH to evaluate reproductive health. |
Normal Range for LH Report
Test | Normal Range |
LH | Women (follicular phase): 1.9 – 12.5 IU/mL |
Women (ovulatory phase): 8.7 – 76.3 IU/mL | |
Women (luteal phase): 0.5 – 16.9 IU/mL | |
Men: 1.7 – 8.6 IU/mL |
Parameters to Consider in LH Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
LH Level | High LH levels may indicate ovulatory disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or menopause in women. In men, elevated LH levels can suggest testicular failure. Low levels may point to pituitary or hypothalamic issues. |
Guidelines for LH Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Report the LH level in IU/mL for easy comparison against the reference range. |
Interpretation | Provide context on whether the result is within normal limits or suggests reproductive dysfunction. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
High LH Levels | Elevated LH levels in women may suggest ovulatory dysfunction, PCOS, or menopause. In men, high LH levels could indicate testicular failure or dysfunction. |
Low LH Levels | Low LH levels may suggest pituitary or hypothalamic issues, affecting fertility and reproductive health. |
LH Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
LH | High LH levels often suggest reproductive disorders, while low LH levels may indicate underlying pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. |
