Anti Mullerian Hormone
The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test measures AMH levels in the blood, which provide insight into a woman’s egg supply (ovarian reserve). AMH is produced by the small follicles in the ovaries, and higher levels generally indicate a larger egg reserve, while lower levels may suggest a declining ovarian reserve. This test is commonly used for fertility assessment, family planning, evaluating ovarian health, and monitoring conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
