ObjectivesPrevious studies suggest urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) measurements by immunofluorometric assays (IFMA) as noninvasive alternatives to serum assays for puberty assessment. However, these studies excluded patients with other endocrine disorders and those taking medications. Besides, the recent discontinuation of IFMA manufacturing is a concern. We explored the utility of luminometric assays (LIA) for urinary gonadotropins and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) determinations in euthyroid patients with thyroid pathologies.MethodsWe used LIA and IFMA assays to measure serum and first-morning-voided (FMV) urine LH, FSH, and TSH concentrations in euthyroid patients with various thyroid disorders. Of the 47 euthyroid patients with normal serum TSH (S-TSH) levels, 14 were receiving levothyroxine therapy.ResultsFMV total urinary LH (U-LH) concentrations correlated significantly with those measured in serum using either LIA (r=0.67, P
