Anti-Mullerian Hormone as a Marker of Ovarian Reserve and Function

Abstract

The maximum infertile women were in the age group of 21-30 years (58 of 100). Serum AMH showed the strongest negative correlation (r=-0.931) with age, followed by AFC (r=-0.884), ovarian volume (r=-0.876), and inhibin B (r=-0.878), whereas serum LH, FSH, and estradiol showed a positive correlation (r=0.589, 0.408, and 0.638 respectively). Serum AMH also showed a strong positive correlation (r=0.972) with AFC followed by ovarian volume (r=0.919) and inhibin B (r=0.769), whereas serum LH, FSH, and estradiol showed a negative correlation (r=-0.504, -0.663, and -0.543 respectively) with AFC. Conclusion: Among all the different tests of ovarian reserve, serum AMH was the most reliable indicator of reproductive aging and decline in the ovarian pool as well as very closely related to AFC, which is one of the best predictors of ovarian reserve.
