Reference Range
Pediatric Males
<30 days Not established
1 month – 11 years ≤0.5 ng/mL
12 years ≤7.8 ng/mL
13 years ≤10.7 ng/mL
14 years ≤12.5 ng/mL
15 years ≤12.1 ng/mL
16 – 17 years ≤11.7 ng/mL
Adult Males
18 – 29 years ≤0.3 ng/mL
30 – 39 years ≤0.2 ng/mL
40 – 49 years ≤0.2 ng/mL
50 – 59 years ≤0.2 ng/mL
Adult Females
Pre-Menopausal Mid Follicular ≤0.3 ng/mL
Pre-Menopausal Surge 0.1 – 1.5 ng/mL
Pre-Menopausal Mid Luteal 6.7 – 22.2 ng/mL
Postmenopausal Phase ≤0.2 ng/mL
Clinical Significance
This test (1) establishes the presence of a functioning corpus luteum or luteal cell function,
(2) confirms basal body temperature measurement of the occurrence of ovulation
(3) affords an indication of the day of ovulation,
(4) assesses placental function during pregnancy.
