Kjenn's General Lab results

(some labs run on different scales)

LH - Lutenizing Hormone
5-20 mIU/mL (gonadotropin) signals egg to leave ovary

FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone
14-16 mIU/mL (gonadotropin) stimulates follicles to produce eggs

GnRH - Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
secreted by hypothalamus - control secretion of LH and FSH

TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
0.4-7.0 uIU/mL

T4
4.8-10.8 ug/dL

T3
33-45 percent

PROLACTIN
0-20 ng/mL

TESTOSTERONE
20-70 ng/dL total adrenal and ovarian secretion

FREE TESTOSTERONE
0.6-3.2 pg/mL sex binding protein levels may decrease with chronically elevated levels

INSULIN
0-20 uU/mL increased insulin contributes to increased androgen by ovaries often the fasting insulin level
is elevated even with normal glucose reading

DHEAS
81-256 ug/dL total androgen secretion from adrenals adrenal component

GLUCOSE
70-100 mg/dL

17-OH-PROGESTERONE
less than 300 ng/dL

PROGESTERONE
0.5-0.18 ng/mL low progesterone can cause implantation problems that may lead to miscarriage
(endometrium may become weak or soft) - natural progesterone suppositories may be prescribed for first
tri-mester of pregnancy

ESTRADIOL
20-100 pg/mL in follicular phase

GROWTH HORMONE
0.5-13 ng/mL

CHOLESTEROL
Under 30 years of age - less than or equal to 180 Over 30 years of age - less than or equal to 200

CHOLESTEROL TO HDL RATIO
less than or equal to 4.5 Over 30 years of age - less than or equal to 200

TRIGLYCERIDES
less than or equal to 60-70

CORTISOL
at 7:00 a.m. 9-24 ug/dL at 7:00 p.m. 2-14 ug/dL

3-ALPHA-ANDROSTANEDIOL GLUCURONIDE
60-300 ng/dL converts testosterone to DHT at the end organ (hair follicle) = "simple hirsutism" usually
prescribed 100-200 mg spironolactone per day
