GnRH test was performed in male hypogonadism which included hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, Kallmann’s syndrome, oligospermia and azoospermia, total 24 cases. The results were as follows:
1. GnRH test is most useful in the evaluation of patients with suspected gonadotropins deficiency.
2. GnRH test is helpful in the differentiation of hypothalamic from pituitary disorder, but single GnRH test does not reliably differentiate.
3. GnRH test facilitate the differentiation between delayed puberty and isolated gonadotropins deficiency.
4. GnRH test is useful in the evaluation of patients with oligospermia or azoospermia, especially with normal basal hormone level, to diagnose the primary lesion.
5. GnRH test is valuable in the determination of treatment modality in hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and infertile men.
