A member asked:

My doctor says my luteinizing hormone level is elevated. what kind of symptoms and/or problems would that cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormone deficiency: The elevation of luteinizing hormone itself does not cause symptoms, but it is likely elevated because of a deficiency of the "end organ hormone" (estrogen in a woman or testosterone in a man) - the symptoms would be related to that hormone deficiency.
