title: Clinical use of LH-RH test as a diagnostic tool.
abstract: The response to LH-RH is never characteristic of a given disorder of the hypothalamo-hypophysial-gonadal axis except in the cases of severe gonadal disturbances, but reflects the functional states which can be observed under various circumstances. The same functional state may be found in different diseases and, in contrast, one disease can evolve through different functional states with time.
