[Comparison of two methods for the determination of LH: HI-GONAVIS and LH-radioimmuno-assay in women with normal and irregular menstrual cycles (author's transl)].

A new direct hemagglutination test (HI-GONAVIS) for urinary LH was compared with the serum radioimmuno-assay of LH. The pairs of values showed a good correlation of r-0.87. In conjunction with clinical parameters and further hormone determinations the test was of value in the diagnosis of: the follicle phase of the cycle, the per-ovulatory phase, the luteal phase, the menopause, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism.
