Prueba de LH en la sangre

Nombres alternativos:

ICSH (hormona estimulante de las células intersticiales); hormona luteinizante

Cuáles Son Los Riesgos:

Consideraciones especiales:

La exposición reciente a radioisótopos (por ejemplo, una gammagrafía reciente) puede interferir con los resultados del examen. Entre los medicamentos que pueden disminuir los niveles de LH están las pastillas anticonceptivas, la terapia de reemplazo hormonal y la testosterona.

Las venas y arterias varían de tamaño de un paciente a otro y de un lado del cuerpo a otro, razón por la cual puede ser más difícil obtener una muestra de sangre de algunas personas que de otras.
