Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a clinical biomarker on the Hormones panel, reported in mIU/mL. Standard reference range: Male 1.7–8.6 · Female 1–95.6 mIU/mL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 1.7–8.6 mIU/mL.
What is Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?
LH triggers ovulation in females and stimulates testosterone production in males; its ratio to FSH and its pulsatile pattern provide important reproductive hormonal information.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mIU/mL) | Source |

| Standard (lab) | Male 1.7–8.6 · Female 1–95.6 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 1.7–8.6 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
SomaVue maps every result for Luteinizing Hormone (LH) against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
