Age-Related Value of Anti-Mullerian Hormone

Abstract

Background: There is a correlation between anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and the age when it becomesundetectable during menopause. The AMH immunoassay has been widely estimated in clinical practice toassist in reproduction and infertility treatment.Objective: To investigate the normal level of serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) in relation towomen’s age in Basra.Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study was carried out in Basra Maternity and Child Hospital fromJanuary 2018 to September 2019. Serum AMH levels were estimated for 975 women aged 15–50 years.They were classified into 7 age groups:15–20, 20–25, 25–30, 30–35, 35–40, 40–45 and 45–50 years. SerumAMH and FSH levels were determined by commercial enzyme-linked immunoassay.Results: Negative relationship was noticed between AMH concentration and age. The mean AMH levelsfor the age groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 were 4.9 ng/ml, 4.25ng/ml, 3.27 ng/ml, 2.43ng/ml, 2.17ng/ml,1.95ng/ml and 0.9ng/ml respectively.Conclusions: This study recorded normal levels of AMH in women in Basra. These levels can beconsidered for the medical treatment of infertile women.
