What Suppression with steroid, IVIg and intralipin, NK (CD69) cell assay, TH1/TH2 cytokines measures
The catalogue tags the Suppression with steroid, IVIg and intralipin, NK (CD69) cell assay, TH1/TH2 cytokines with immunosuppression, natural Killer Cells, cytokine Levels, intravenous Immunoglobulin, intralipin Infusion and steroid Therapy. Those terms describe the territory the test covers; the notes below explain what a female hormones and fertility result can and cannot tell you.
Female hormone tests measure the pituitary hormones FSH and LH, the ovarian hormones oestradiol and progesterone, prolactin, and androgens such as testosterone and DHEA-sulphate that matter in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) estimates the remaining pool of egg follicles, while inhibin B and specialist reproductive immunology tests such as natural killer cell assays are used in fertility clinics for particular questions. Profiles for PCOS, hirsutism, amenorrhoea and recurrent miscarriage combine the relevant markers.
Preparing for your Suppression with steroid, IVIg and intralipin, NK (CD69) cell assay, TH1/TH2 cytokines
- 1Timing matters: FSH, LH and oestradiol are usually sampled on day 2 to 5 of the cycle, and progesterone around day 21 (or seven days before the expected period).
- 2AMH, testosterone and prolactin can be measured at any point in the cycle; prolactin should be taken rested and not immediately after a meal, exercise or breast stimulation.
- 3Hormonal contraception alters many of these values — tell the nurse what you are using, and discuss whether to pause it before testing.
- 4Note the first day of your last period on the day of the sample so the laboratory ranges can be applied correctly.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample (heparin).
Who considers Suppression with steroid, IVIg and intralipin, NK (CD69) cell assay, TH1/TH2 cytokines
- People often consider these tests if their periods have become irregular, very heavy or have stopped altogether.
- Difficulty conceiving after several months of trying is a common reason to check FSH, LH, AMH and progesterone.
- Excess facial or body hair, acne into adulthood or scalp thinning may prompt an androgen profile.
- Those weighing up egg freezing or IVF often want an AMH value beforehand.
- Unexplained milk production or a loss of libido can lead to prolactin being measured.
Understanding your Suppression with steroid, IVIg and intralipin, NK (CD69) cell assay, TH1/TH2 cytokines results
A high FSH early in the cycle can indicate diminished ovarian reserve, and AMH adds a cycle-independent view of the same question; a mid-luteal progesterone above the laboratory threshold suggests ovulation occurred. Raised LH relative to FSH with elevated androgens may support, but does not by itself establish, a diagnosis of PCOS. High prolactin is commonly due to stress, medication or the timing of the sample and is often repeated before imaging is considered.
Every female hormone value depends on cycle day, contraception and age, so the report is interpreted against your history rather than a fixed range.
