Hormones are involved at several levels in the clinical approach to men affected by reproduction disorders. Impaired serum hormone levels can be the cause of impaired fertility, as is the case in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), but impaired hormone levels can also be the consequence of impaired fertility, as in men affected by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. In this chapter the hormones involved in male fertility and their laboratory examination will be discussed.
