I had several blood tests to check my Hormone levels, Bone density scans, X-rays, MRI'S, Untralsounds and Physical Examinations.

A reproductive endocrinologist is probably the best medical professional to find.
Low oestrogen / testosterone levels alongside low LH and FSH levels can point towards Kallmann syndrome
A MRI might be required to check for presence of olfactory bulb and problems with the pituitary gland.
No menstruation by the age of 14 in girls or testicular growth by 15 in boys can be a sign.

Genetic testing. But it is most commonly linked with the absence of smell and a absence of puberity.

Kallmann Syndrome is diagnosed by two key symptoms: absent puberty and lack of a sense of smell.
Pubescent development is evaluated by a physical exam. Other tests will be run such as blood work (to find out the levels of LH, FSH, and primary sex hormone), a hand x-ray (to determine bone age), and possibly a CT scan (in order to rule out other problems with the pituitary gland.)
Typically, a doctor only needs to ask a patient if they can smell. However, I have heard of one doctor "proving it" by putting wet coffee grounds in a bag and asking the patient to smell the bag and tell him what is inside.
