A member asked:
Tests show high luteinizing hormone and pcos. other hormones look normal. also have liver disease - how could this affect the lh result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS & Liver: With PCOS, many women have increased cholesterol. That can lead to fatty deposits in the liver as evidenced by US and by incresed ALT. The LH level is pulsatile so there is very little value in measuring it in women with PCOS. It is not one of the diagnostic criteria for determining PCOS. Focus on an insulin glucose tolerance test, androgen levels. Treatment is diet, exercise & metformin for most.
