Morning basal luteinizing hormone, a good screening tool for diagnosing central precocious pubertyDOI: 10.6065/apem.2019.24.1.27 Keywords: Precocious puberty, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Luteinizing hormone, Bone age Abstract: The standard method used to diagnose central precocious puberty (CPP) is the gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulation test (GnRHST). However, this test is inconvenient for children because it is time-consuming and requires multiple samples. This study aimed to determine the reliability of morning unstimulated luteinizing hormone (mLH) level when screening for CPP, with an emphasis on the influence of diurnal variation
