Table 1.

Utility and limitations of measurements of serum anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in various clinical conditions

What have we learned? What should we know?
Medically assisted reproduction Good correlation to oocyte yield
Predictive potential for poor and hyper‐response Predictive potential for live births
Optimization of protocols to improve treatment success
General population Peaks around 25 years of age and gradually declines
Very low serum AMH level does not necessarily mean sterility Predictive potential for future fertility
Menopause/POI Undetectable serum AMH level is followed by menopause within a certain time period depending on age Selection and diagnosis of subclinical POI
PCOS Elevated serum AMH level is correlated with severity Association with pathophysiology
Optimization of treatment schedules according to serum AMH levels
Ovarian toxicity/surgical intervention Decline depending on chemotherapeutic regimens and surgical interventions, especially cystectomy for endometriomas Indication of fertility preservation
Optimal interventions according to ovarian reserve

POI primary ovarian insufficiency, PCOS polycystic ovary syndrome
