Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Test detects LH expression in tumor tissue to differentiate neuroendocrine and reproductive neoplasms. This definitive stain guides targeted therapy in pituitary adenomas, gonadal stromal tumors, and other LH-secreting lesions, using DHA/MOHAP-standardized FFPE protocols.
| Feature | Our Test (PRECISION ADVANTAGE) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | IHC (monoclonal/polyclonal) with standardized DAB detection, ISO-certified | Serum LH ELISA – indirect, no tissue localization |
| Clinical Specificity | Direct visualization of LH in FFPE blocks; essential for surgical pathology | Cannot confirm cellular origin or intratumoral distribution |
| Turnaround (TAT) | 5–7 days (block/tissue), daily processing until 6 PM | Serum result <24h but requires biopsy confirmation later |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed specialist in diagnostic radiology, I emphasize that LH immunohistochemistry is a powerful marker but must be correlated with morphology and clinical context. A positive stain alone does not define a functional tumor; always integrate histopathology report, site of biopsy, and endocrine profile. For any ambiguity, our post-test telephonic guidance ensures your clinical decisions remain evidence-based.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Advisory Medication Warning
Abrupt withdrawal of hormonal therapies or cancer-directed drugs can precipitate serious adverse events. This test is an adjunct to—not a replacement for—comprehensive oncological/endocrinological care. Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Insufficient tissue: less than 50 ng DNA or tissue core length <0.5 cm.
- Inadequate fixation: tissue not in 10% neutral buffered formalin or inappropriate paraffin embedding.
- Missing clinical documents: copy of Histopathology report, biopsy site, and clinical history must accompany the specimen.
- ER Red Flags: If patient develops acute visual loss, sudden severe headache, or hormonal crisis (hypotension, hypoglycemia), proceed immediately to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why do I need an LH immunohistochemistry on my biopsy tissue?
This stain directly identifies luteinizing hormone-producing cells within the tumor, guiding precise classification and therapy selection. Your pathologist uses it to distinguish functional neuroendocrine lesions from non-secreting masses, ensuring the treatment targets the correct hormonal abnormality.
2. What is the sample requirement and how should it be shipped?
Submit tumor tissue in 10% formal-saline or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded block, along with a copy of the histopathology report, biopsy site, and clinical history. Ship at room temperature via our ISO-certified cold-chain logistics to maintain antigen integrity for accurate immunostaining.
3. How long does it take to get the result and will my insurance cover it?
Turnaround time is 5 days for standard blocks, 7 days for large complex tissues, with daily processing until 6 PM. Direct billing verification for insurance is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731; most UAE policies cover immunohistochemistry for cancer diagnostics under specialist referral.
