Evaluation of the diagnostic value of different serum biomarkers in girls with central precocious puberty

Background Alarming trends show an increase in referrals of girls with suspected early puberty. However, variations in defining precocious puberty exist. GnRH stimulation test is the gold standard diagnostic test, which is expensive and challenging to interpret. Moreover, intravenous GnRH might not...

GnRH stimulation test is the gold standard diagnostic test, which is expensive and challenging to interpret. Moreover, intravenous GnRH might not be available. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of basal serum Luteinizing Hormone and Anti-Mullerian hormone in girls with central precocious puberty, as an easier alternative to GnRH stimulation test. The study was conducted on 26 Egyptian girls presenting with early puberty at age
