Compensated TD

Compensated, or subclinical, TD has been proposed as a genuine clinical subgroup of late-onset-TD:

  • characterised by normal testosterone levels, but raised luteinising hormone (LH) levels, in older men. These patients should be carefully monitored, as they may go on to develop overt primary TD.1
