In patients with signs and symptoms indicative of hypogonadism, determining luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels together with the initial testosterone level is usually most efficient.
The reference range for luteinising/luteinizing hormone for men is approximately between 1.3 and 8.0mIU/mL (international units per millilitre). What do abnormal levels of LH mean?
Male hypogonadism, caused by intrinsic pathology of the hypothalamic–pituitary–testicular (HPT) axis, is an under-diagnosed condition not to be missed. By contrast, late onset hypogonadism (LOH), due to functional suppression of the HPT axis from age-related comorbidities, may be less common than previously believed. Objective.
2 Νοε 2022 · There is a decline in sexual function as men age, with a dramatic increase in the prevalence of erectile dysfunction after the age of 40, which is a marker for both clinically evident as well as covert coronary artery disease.
In this study, most men above the age of 40 years experienced the symptoms of hypogonadism and the majority of the symptoms were related to psychological domain. The score of the symptoms in this domain had no association with serum levels of total and free testosterone.
Design, patients and measurements: We conducted a 4.3-year prospective observational study of 3369 community-dwelling European men aged 40-79 years. Participants were classified as follows: incident (i) HLH (n = 101, 5.2%); persistent (p) HLH (n = 128, 6.6%); reverted (r) HLH (n = 46, 2.4%); or persistent normal LH (pNLH, n = 1667, 85.8%).
15 Μαρ 2022 · CIMT was positively correlated with LH, FSH, and the LH/T ratio and negatively correlated with TT and FAI (p < 0.001, p = 0.008, p < 0.001, p = 0.03, and 0.02, respectively).
