AMHnivåer

AMHnivåer, or Anti-Müllerian Hormone levels, refer to the concentration of AMH in a person's blood. AMH is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells in the developing ovarian follicles of females. In males, it is produced by Sertoli cells in the testes during fetal development and plays a role in the regression of the Müllerian ducts. Measuring AMH levels in women is primarily used in reproductive medicine. It is considered a marker of ovarian reserve, indicating the number of small, growing follicles remaining in the ovaries. Lower AMH levels generally suggest a diminished ovarian reserve, which can impact fertility and the likelihood of success with fertility treatments. Conversely, higher AMH levels may indicate a larger ovarian reserve. AMH levels naturally decline with age, reaching very low levels around menopause. They can also be affected by certain medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), where levels may be elevated, or premature ovarian insufficiency, where levels are typically low. Testing AMH is a common part of infertility evaluations and can help in planning and managing treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
