AMH: a marker for ovarian reserve

AMH is secreted by preantral follicles and small antral follicles in the ovary, and its level is directly related to the number of follicles in the ovary. Schematic model of AMH actions in the ovary that is shown in Figure 1.

Schematic model of AMH actions in the ovary

AMH is an indicator familiar to experts in gynecological endocrinology and assisted reproductive technology and is commonly used in ovarian reserve, ovarian responsiveness prediction, and PCOS disease diagnosis. AMH is the earliest hormone to change with age and is therefore a more accurate predictor of ovarian reserve in women at an earlier stage.

ESHRE consensus on the definition of‘poor response’to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization.

AMH had the best sensitivity and specificity for predicting ovarian response.(Figure 2)
