Hypersensitivity reaction with intravenous GnRH after pulsatile subcutaneous GnRH treatment in male hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chronic pulsatile subcutaneous administration of low doses of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) is an effective therapy for men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Hypersensitivity reactions to GnRH are rare. We wish to report hypersensitivity reactions with intravenous GnRH after low dose subcutaneous pulsatile GnRH treatment in two men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism due to suprasellar disease.

Ovulation induction: a mini review.
Ovulation induction is the method for treating anovulatory infertility. For patients with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, the treatment involves administration of both FSH and LH, while HCG is injected for follicle rupture. Pulsatile GnRH has the same effectiveness as gonadotrophins and the advantage of the low multiple pregnancy rate. In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the first treatment ch...
متن کاملMisrouted cell surface GnRH receptors as a disease aetiology for congenital isolated hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
GnRH plays an essential and central role in neuroendocrine control of reproductive function. The GnRH receptor is located on the plasma membrane of gonadotrophs, pituitary cells that synthesize the gonadotrophins LH and FSH. This receptor belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, and is preferentially coupled to the G(q/11) protein; its activation by GnRH analogues stimulates t...

This study was undertaken to compare the outcomes of treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadic women with pulsatile GnRH and gonadotropins (HMG + HCG) and to evaluate severity-dependent factors (FSH-LH, estradiol and and puberty level) on the results. The existing data about the outcomes of infertility treatment with pulsatile GnRH or gonadotropins was reviewed in 66 hypogonadotropic hypogonadic wo...
متن کاملPulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapy is associated with earlier spermatogenesis compared to combined gonadotropin therapy in patients with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Both pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) infusion and combined gonadotropin therapy (human chorionic gonadotropin and human menopausal gonadotropin [HCG/HMG]) are effective to induce spermatogenesis in male patients with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH). However, evidence is lacking as to which treatment strategy is better. This retrospective cohort study included 202 ...
متن کاملThe fertile eunuch variant of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: spontaneous reversal associated with a homozygous mutation in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor.
Mutations in the GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) gene have been reported to cause idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). Herein, we describe a 26-yr-old male with a mild phenotypic form of IHH, the fertile eunuch syndrome (IHH in the presence of normal testicular size and some degree of spermatogenesis), associated with a homozygous mutation (Gln106Arg) in the GnRH-R. This mutation, located in ...
