urinary progesterone

Progesterone is a steroid hormone secreted by the ovary, placenta and adrenal cortex. It is an intermediate metabolite of steroid hormone synthesis. Progesterone in the blood is almost exclusively secreted by the corpus luteum or placenta. Determination of progesterone levels is mainly used to understand the function of the corpus luteum and the presence or absence of ovulation, as well as to understand the function of the placenta and adrenal glands. It is meaningful to know whether or not ovulation should take blood at various stages of menstruation. Basic Information Specialist classification: maternity check check classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether women are fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Ovulation disorders, ovarian dysfunction, luteal insufficiency, anovulatory menstruation, amenorrhea, pituitary dysfunction, primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease). Normal value: Urinary progesterone (luteal phase): 6.4-25.6μmol/24h Above normal: Multiple ovulation, multiple pregnancy, benign essential hypertension, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal cancer, etc. negative: Positive: Tips: Clomiphene can increase progesterone, gestrinone and other progesterone and progesterone cross-immunization; ampicillin, PGF2α and oral contraceptives reduce progesterone levels. Normal value Follicular phase 3.2μmol/24h (1mg/24h); The luteal phase is 6.4 to 25.6 μmol/24 h (2 to 8 mg/24 h). Clinical significance 1, increased multiple ovulation, multiple pregnancy, benign primary hypertension, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal cancer. 2, reduce ovulation disorders, ovarian dysfunction, luteal insufficiency, anovulatory menstruation, amenorrhea, pituitary hypofunction, primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease). Low results may be diseases: Cushing's syndrome, primary adrenal insufficiency results may be high disease: precautions for ovulation disorders Clomiphene can increase progesterone levels, gestrinone and other progestins and progesterone cross-immunization; ampicillin, PGF2α and oral contraceptives reduce progesterone levels. Inspection process Label on the test tube and operate according to Table 1: Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
