The aim was to investigate the relation between optical density of seminal plasma, serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in azoospermic patients and to establish criteria depending on optical density measurements in order to estimate serum FSH and LH levels. Optical density of seminal plasma and serum FSH and LH levels were measured in 45 azoospermic patients. The semen samples with an optical density (OD) of more than 0.5 showed normal levels of FSH and LH, while those with less than 0.5 were observed to have high levels of FSH and LH. The optical density of seminal plasma can be used in the prediction of serum FSH and LH levels in azoospermic patients.
目的是研究无精子症患者精液浆的光密度与血清促卵泡激素（FSH）和促黄体生成素（LH）水平之间的关系，并根据光密度测量建立标准，以估计血清FSH和LH水平。对45例无精子症患者测量了精液浆的光密度以及血清FSH和LH水平。光密度（OD）大于0.5的精液样本显示FSH和LH水平正常，而光密度小于0.5的样本则观察到FSH和LH水平较高。精液浆的光密度可用于预测无精子症患者的血清FSH和LH水平。
