Gonadotropin Assessment

Meaning

Gonadotropin Assessment is a fundamental clinical procedure involving the measurement and careful interpretation of the circulating levels of the pituitary hormones Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This diagnostic evaluation is indispensable for determining the precise functional status of the entire hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in both male and female patients. The resulting hormone profile provides essential clinical information necessary to differentiate between peripheral gonadal failure and central regulatory defects.
