Most test kits can detect urinary LH levels as low as 20-40 IU/L (international units per liter). An LH "surge" is detected if the urinary LH is above the threshold. However, variations between different urinary LH kits are common. Check with the manufacturer to find out the detection limit of their kit in IU/L.
