HYPOGONADOTROPHIC HYPOGONADISM RESISTANT TO hCG AND RESPONSIVE TO LHRH: REPORT OF A CASE

The treatment of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with gonadotrophin releasing hormone (LHRH) has proved difficult in the past because of a progressive decline in the pituitary gonadotrophin response. These early studies generally used large relatively infrequent doses of natural LHRH (Davies et al., 1977) or analogues with a prolonged action (Smith et al., 1979).
