What is AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)?

AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a hormone produced by the ovarian cell and is a vital indicator of the available eggs in the ovaries. It also helps in the formation of reproductive organs and controlling other hormones. AMH remains stable throughout the cycle, unlike other hormones that fluctuate with time, making it reliable for assessing the ovarian reserve.

AMH test is conducted to measure the amount of Anti-Müllerian Hormone for the assessment of reproductive health. This test is essential in monitoring the effectiveness of ovarian cancer treatment, Fertilization treatments including in-vitro fertilization (IVF), fertility potential, predicting menopause, and helps in the guidance of family planning.

How is the Test Performed?

  • Pressure and bandage are applied to the site from where the blood was drawn to stop any bleeding.


Laboratory Analysis

  • Once the lab receives the sample, a technician will analyze the AMH level using methods such as ELISA or chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) which provides the precise measurement of hormonal levels.

  • Average – 0 to 3.0 ng/mL
  • Low – Below 1.0 ng/mL
  • Severely low – Below 0.4 ng/mL


**The reference range mentioned above is for general guidelines only and may vary with methodology used by the laboratory. Your healthcare provider will provide the correct interpretation of the result.**
