assessment of ovarian reserve: anti?mullerian hormone versus follicle stimulating hormone

چکیده
background: this study aimed to evaluate the strength of anti?mullerian hormone (amh) and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) in reflecting the antral follicle count (afc) in infertile females. materials and methods: this cross?sectional study was conducted on 160 females, visiting infertility clinic for assisted reproduction. serum samples collected on the 3rd day of the cycle were assayed for fsh, luteinizing hormone, and amh while afc was assessed via transvaginal ultrasound. the study cohort was segregated into three groups based on afc. results: chronological age and fsh was significantly high in females with very low afc (p < 0.01 and 0.009, respectively), yet they failed to discriminate patients with normal and higher follicle count (p = 0.65 and 0.84). conversely,amh reported highly significant difference between very low afc and with those having either normal afc (p = 0.002) or higher afc (p = 0.001). moreover, a significant difference in amh was observed between normal and higher afc group (p = 0.04).conclusion: compared to female’s age and fsh, amh is superior in clustering study cohort on the bases of antral follicular pool,especially in setups with nonavailability of technological expertise to assess afc. incorporation of amh along with other biomarkers improves estimation of baseline ovarian reserve, required to standardize dose for optimum response; avoiding the risk of failure to retrieve oocyte or inappropriate stimulation leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. further prospective studies are required to ascertain its role in predicting the outcomes of art in such patients.

متن کاملEvaluation of Ovarian Reserve by Measurement of the Serum Levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles
Background It is important to evaluate ovarian reserves prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as a marker for ovarian reserve and to compare it with day-3 serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. MaterialsAndMethods In this analytic, corss-sectional study, sequential sampling was don...

Data from 107 women undergoing their first IVF/ICSI were analyzed. Relationships between antimullerian hormone (AMH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were analyzed after dividing patients into four groups according to AMH/FSH levels. Concordance was noted in 57% of women (both AMH/FSH either normal or abnormal) while 43%of women had discordant values (AMH/FSH one hormone normal and the ot...

Bioactive Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
Specific and sensitive in vitro bioassays suitable for measurement of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in small quantities of serum and urine have recently been validated. Comparisons of bioassay (B-FSH) potencies with immunoassay (I-FSH) estimates and chromatofocusing patterns have facilitated new discoveries regarding the regulation of FSH biosynthesis, storage, secretion, serum concentrati...
