A nine-marker hormonal panel covering the full female reproductive endocrine axis — pituitary gonadotropins, ovarian hormones, androgens, and adrenal contributors. At PKBH Olomouc, all hormones are measured by immunochemistry on the Abbott Alinity ii or DPC Immulite 2000XPi platforms, both SEKK-accredited. The panel is suitable for investigation of menstrual irregularity, fertility issues, PCOS, perimenopause, or excess androgen symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. No referral is needed for self-pay access.
About this treatment
Hormonal imbalance underpins a wide spectrum of conditions in women — from irregular cycles and infertility to excess hair growth, acne, persistent fatigue, and menopausal symptoms. Because the reproductive endocrine axis involves the pituitary, ovaries, and adrenal glands interacting dynamically, a comprehensive nine-marker panel provides far more clinical information than any single hormone measured in isolation.
Markers included: - FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) — the pituitary signal that drives follicle development. Elevated FSH indicates reduced ovarian reserve (early perimenopause or premature ovarian insufficiency); low FSH combined with low LH suggests hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. - LH (luteinising hormone) — triggers ovulation. The LH:FSH ratio is a key diagnostic criterion for PCOS (typically > 2:1). Persistently elevated LH alongside…
All immunochemistry markers are measured on the Abbott Alinity ii or DPC Immulite 2000XPi, both operating under continuous internal QC and SEKK external quality control. PKBH holds R3 Audit certification.
