Anti‑Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Female

Also known as: Mullerian Inhibiting Substance, AMH/MIS

Clinical Use

Use

This test measures anti‑Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in female serum to evaluate ovarian reserve by approximating the number of eggs in a woman’s ovaries. It is commonly used by women trying to conceive, planning pregnancy, undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF, to assess ovarian function after cancer therapy, or to help evaluate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). AMH levels decline with age and can signal diminished ovarian reserve, though the test does not directly predict fertility. Higher levels may indicate better ovarian response, while lower levels suggest fewer eggs and possible reduced ovarian reserve.

Special Instructions

No special patient preparation is required for the test. It is performed Monday through Saturday. Serum is required, collected in a red‑top tube without additive. Ensure proper transport and processing per lab guidelines. ([rchsd.org](https://www.rchsd.org/lab-test/anti-mullerian-hormone-amh-female-37227/?utm_source=openai))

Limitations

AMH levels can be influenced by hormone therapy or hormonal birth control, potentially reducing the measured value. The test is a snapshot and does not predict actual fertility outcomes—other factors such as ovulation, tubal patency, uterine factors, and partner sperm quality are critical. Elevated AMH may be seen in PCOS, and interpretation should be done in clinical context. ([questhealth.com](https://www.questhealth.com/product/amh-marker-test/37227M.html?utm_source=openai))
