Anti-Mullerian hormone for the diagnosis and prediction of menopause: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The early onset of menopause is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. As a woman's circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration reflects the number of follicles remaining in the ovary and declines towards the menopause, serum AMH may be of value in the early diagnosis and prediction of age at menopause.

Objective and rationale

This systematic review was undertaken to determine whether there is evidence to support the use of AMH alone, or in conjunction with other markers, to diagnose menopause, to predict menopause, or to predict and/or diagnose premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

Search methods

A systematic literature search for publications reporting on AMH in relation to menopause or POI was conducted in
