For the diagnosis and evaluation of the therapy for male infertility and for predicting the outcome of AIH and IVF-ET, technically simple, replicable tests that can be performed virtually anywhere and that have definite reliability are required. The results of the HOS test correlate well with the functions of the sperm cell membrane, indicating such aspects as motility, and it is thought to be a particularly effective test of human sperm fertility. Because the HOS test reflects the functions and integrity of the sperm cell membrane, it should be possible to use it to predict the potential for fertilization of frozen sperm.
为了诊断和评估男性不育的治疗方法以及预测人工授精和体外受精-胚胎移植的结果，需要技术简单、可重复、几乎可在任何地方进行且具有明确可靠性的检测。低渗肿胀试验（HOS）的结果与精子细胞膜的功能密切相关，可反映精子活力等方面，被认为是检测人类精子受精能力的一种特别有效的试验。由于低渗肿胀试验反映了精子细胞膜的功能和完整性，因此应该可以用它来预测冷冻精子的受精潜力。
