Published reference ranges

Published values for LH vary along 3 axes:

  • sex
  • menstrual cycle phase
  • menopausal status

Because a single unstratified figure would misrepresent them, none is shown here.

Published values vary by sex, age, time of collection, menstrual cycle phase and analytical method. The interval applicable to a patient's result appears on that patient's report.
