PCOS and AMH : Women having PCO differ from those with normal - TopicsExpress



          

PCOS and AMH : Women having PCO differ from those with normal ovaries by having slightly higher mean serum androgens or AMH levels. PCOs in normal women are not a morphological variant of normal ovaries but rather represent a functional entity that may be considered as a silent form of PCOS for which serum AMH could be the best marker. In conclusion, for the definition of PCOS, serum AMH appears as a sensitive and specific parameter that would probably be easier to reproduce from one to another centre than the follicle count, as the latter is highly dependent on the evolving quality of the machines and/or the operator skill. The threshold for AMH proposed to suggest the presence of Polycystic ovaries is 35 pmol/l (or 5 ng/ml).
