Male reproductive endocrine test

Male reproductive endocrine tests are mainly related to the determination of sex hormones (T, FSH, IJH, PRL, E2) and various challenge tests (HCG stimulation test, IMRH stimulation test, clomiphene test). The method is to understand the endocrine function of patients by measuring the levels of hormones and related metabolites in blood, urine and other body fluids. There are many methods for measuring reproductive endocrine hormones. Currently, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and chemiluminescence immunoassay are commonly used. The radioimmunoassay method is very sensitive, and most of them are tested by special kits. The operation method is relatively convenient and uniform, so the measurement results are stable and accurate. In the past, bioassays were rarely used, and some laboratories now use more advanced electrochemical luminescence immunoassays.
