Abstract
GODOY-MORALES, Héctor S. et al. Antimüllerian hormone prevalence in Latin women treated at a fertility center in Mexico. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.1, pp.10-16. Epub June 06, 2022. ISSN 2524-1710. https://doi.org/10.24875/per.19000083.
Background:
Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) has been used as a marker of ovarian reserve, which helps predict success. It is unknown if values from other countries are applicable to Mexico.
Objective:
To determine the AMH values in our population to graph them according to age groups and evaluate their behavior.
Methodology:
Observational, descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study of patients from 2008 to 2018, with a AMH level report excluding patients with diseases that alter their level, analyzing by age groups in a laboratory.
Results:
450 patients of 36.93 years old, the range of the AMH value was from 0.003 ng/ml to 9.4 ng/ml, with a mean of 1.5, with an annual decrease from 40 years of age (0.1-0.3). Spearman’s correlation of -436 (p < 0.000) with a slight association between age and AMH level, but it was linear (p < 0.000).
Conclusions:
AMH is useful and serves to give personalized recommendations, as well as basis of epidemiological studies in favor of an individualized medicine.
