Assessing the diagnostic value of testosterone, basal LH and LHRH test in predicting pubertal progression in boys

Hu Kun , Kirk Lucinda , Sandhu Karam , Shaw Nick , Kirk Jeremy

Introduction: Central precocious puberty (CPP) is rarer in boys than girls, therefore evidence is limited for interpreting LHRH testing in boys. Current recommendations also suggest use of basal LH.Objectives: i) Test efficacy of using basal LH and testosterone for predicting CPP in boys. ii) Establish diagnostic cut-offs for LHRH testing in boys.Method: Retrospective data collection of LHRH test results in 67 boys aged 2–10 y...

Evaluating the diagnostic value of basal LH and LHRH test in predicting progression into precocious puberty in girls

Hu Kun , Kirk Lucinder , Sandhu Karam , Odubiyi Oreoluwa , Kirk Jeremy , Shaw Nick

Introduction: Current recommendations for diagnosing central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls suggest using basal LH levels >0.3 IU/l to predict progression into CPP and using stimulated LH values >5 IU/l in the LHRH test to diagnose CPP. Our objectives were to test the efficacy of using basal LH values as well as to establish diagnostic cut-offs for LHRH tests.Method: Retrospective data collection of LHRH test results of 173 girls between 2 and...
