Useful For
Assessing ovarian status, including ovarian reserve and responsiveness, as part of an evaluation for infertility and assisted reproduction protocols
Assessment of menopausal status, including premature ovarian failure
Evaluation of infants with ambiguous genitalia and other intersex conditions
Evaluating testicular function in infants and children
Monitoring individuals with antimullerian hormone-secreting ovarian granulosa cell tumors
Highlights
Antimullerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertoli cells of the testis in male individuals and by ovarian granulosa cells in female individuals.
In female individuals, AMH is used as a marker for ovarian reserve and in the assessment of ovarian responsiveness as part of evaluation of infertility and in assistance with reproductive therapy.
In male individuals, AMH is used in the evaluation of disorders of sexual development and male fertility.
