Respuesta de la LH a la GnRH - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Respuesta de la hormona luteinizante (lutropina) a la hormona liberadora de gonadotropina (gonadoliberina)

Riesgos:

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

Otros riesgos asociados con la extracción de sangre son leves, pero pueden ser:

Sangrado excesivo
Desmayo o sensación de mareo
Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
Infección (un riesgo leve cada vez que se presenta ruptura de la piel)

Consideraciones:

En las mujeres, los niveles de estrógenos se elevan durante el ciclo menstrual hasta que haya suficiente estrógeno presente para estimular la liberación de GnRH y hormona luteinizante (LH).

La progesterona en concentraciones altas (por ejemplo, durante la fase lútea del ciclo menstrual o durante el embarazo) reduce la respuesta de la hipófisis a la GnRH.
