PIP: Using a modified radioimmunological immunosorbent technique, an investigation of differences between gonadotrophin (FSH and LH) levels in whole urine and urine after treatment with dialysis or extraction was conducted using urine from normal and pathological subjects (menopause, oligomenorrhea, secondary amenorrhea, surgical hypophysectom), and hypophysectomy, and hypopituitarism). Values recorded in untreated and treated urine seemed almost identical, indicating that the immunosorbent technique described has significant practical importance; with its use, pretreatment of urine by dialysis or extraction in order to avoid aspecific interference from factors in the immunological reaction can be avoided.
