Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test

Antimullerian hormone (AMH), also known as mullerian-inhibiting substance, is produced by Sertoli cells of the testis in males and by ovarian granulosa cells in females. In women AMH levels represent the ovarian follicular pool and could be a useful marker of ovarian reserve. A serum level of AMH strongly correlates with antral follicle count and reflects the size of primordial follicle pool. AMH may permit the identification of both the extremes of ovarian stimulation thus a possible role for its measurement has been suggested in the individualization of treatment strategies. High AMH levels (>6.80) are predictive of Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome / PCOS.
