The Role of Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone Measurement in the Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal disorder in women that affects their reproductive, metabolic, and mental health, but diagnosing it can be difficult due to the absence of a specific test.
  • Elevated levels of the hormone anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), produced by certain ovarian follicles, have shown a strong correlation with PCOS and could serve as a reliable diagnostic marker.
  • The review suggests that utilizing serum AMH levels could potentially replace traditional diagnostic criteria, such as physical abnormalities in ovaries and hormonal imbalances, making it easier to diagnose and treat PCOS.

Article Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinological disorder in women with significant reproductive, metabolic, and psychological health implications. The lack of a specific diagnostic test poses challenges in making the diagnosis of PCOS, resulting in underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) synthesized by the pre-antral and small antral ovarian follicles appears to play an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS, and serum AMH levels are often elevated in women with PCOS. The aim of this review is to inform the possibility of utilizing anti-Mullerian hormone either as a diagnostic test for PCOS or as an alternative diagnostic criterion in place of polycystic ovarian morphology, hyperandrogenism, and oligo-anovulation. Increased levels of serum AMH correlate highly with PCOS, polycystic ovarian morphology, hyperandrogenism, and oligo/amenorrhea. Additionally, serum AMH has high diagnostic accuracy as an isolated marker for PCOS or as a replacement for polycystic ovarian morphology.
