The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test is a diagnostic tool used to assess ovarian reserve in women. This blood test measures the levels of AMH, a hormone produced by the ovaries, which can indicate the number and quality of eggs remaining in the ovaries. By determining AMH levels, the test provides crucial information for fertility specialists and individuals planning to conceive, helping to inform decisions regarding fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and family planning options.

In females, the indications for assessing ovarian function and menopausal status include:
Evaluating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or assessing the efficacy of ovarian cancer treatment.
In infants, the indications encompass:
Assessing the presence of ambiguous genitalia, which are external sex organs that are not distinctly male or female.
Evaluating the functionality of the testicles in infant boys.
A healthcare provider may employ hormone testing in the following scenarios:
An AMH test may be requested for women when assessing ovarian function and fertility concerns, particularly in the context of assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is also applicable when a healthcare provider aims to ascertain whether a woman has reached menopause.
Anti-Mllerian hormone (AMH) is a hormone that is synthesized by reproductive tissues, including the testes in males and the ovaries in females. The function of AMH and its typical levels differ based on an individual's sex and age. This blood test is conducted to quantify the concentration of AMH in the bloodstream.
Heightened responsiveness to IVF, necessitating customized treatment approaches.
A declining AMH level, particularly a significant drop, may indicate the approaching onset of menopause or the actual entry into menopause. In infancy and post-menopause, it's normal to have negative to low AMH levels.
Elevated AMH levels are frequently associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), although they alone do not confirm this condition.
When AMH is employed as a monitoring tool for AMH-producing ovarian cancer, a decrease in AMH indicates a positive response to treatment, while an increase may signal cancer recurrence.
The Anti-Mllerian hormone (AMH) test is not typically included in routine tests but can offer valuable insights in specific situations.
An AMH test may be prescribed for various reasons in women:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Acanthosis nigricans
- Acne
- Absence of menstrual cycles (amenorrhea)
- Decreased breast size
- Enlarged ovaries
- Excessive facial and body hair growth (hirsutism) with male pattern distribution, such as on the face, sideburn area, chin, upper lip, lower abdominal midline, chest, areola, lower back, buttocks, and inner thighs
- Weight gain or obesity, with fat accumulation in the central body area
- Skin tags in the armpits or neck
- Thinning hair with male pattern baldness
In addition, an AMH test may be ordered when:
