Context: First-voided urinary LH (FVU-LH) has been suggested as an alternative to GnRH stimulation test for detection of precocious puberty.

Objective: To evaluate the reproducibility of FVU-LH, its correlation with basal and GnRH-stimulated gonadotropins, and its diagnostic value for differentiating progressive from nonprogressive puberty.

Design And Participants: Clinical and endocrine data were obtained from the medical records of 95 girls with suspected progressive puberty who underwent 2 consecutive FVU-LH tests.
