Serum Inhibin B Values in Boys with Unilateral Vanished Testis or Unilateral Cryptorchidism

Abstract

Our findings may reflect the development of contralateral testicular hypertrophy in boys with unilateral vanished testis. The initial low inhibin B values may be explained by impaired total number of Sertoli cells. Serum inhibin B values also indicated that in 6-month to 5-year-old boys with cryptorchidism orchiopexy was beneficial for the germinative epithelium.
