The woman's body during maturing of the follicle cells to produce specific substances. There is a direct relationship between the process of development and release of the egg and its contents. It is important to test for Anti-Müllerian hormone pass for 3 day cycle to obtain the correct result.
Who and when given this analysis
reproductive work is largely dependent on hormonal levels. Increase or decrease in performance of those or other substances can negatively impact on the general condition and cause dysfunction of the reproductive system. Antimyullerovy hormone produced in a woman's body during maturing of follicles. It directly affects the process of maturation of the egg and its exit from the follicle.
The content of this substance varies throughout life. In girls, the substance begins to produce even during fetal development, but its small amount of maturity onset. He rises sharply after the girl's first menses come. At this time, it reaches a point that is only slightly different from the indicators of healthy women of reproductive age. The gradual decrease of the level of the substance is observed with decreasing stock follicles. His production has almost ceased at menopause.
In women, the hormone produced by the granulosa cells. It is a dimeric glycoprotein. This protein compounds involved in the process of absorption Muller protocols and to a certain extent determines the sex of the unborn child. Analysis AMG helps determine the functionality of the reproductive system. It must be handed over to the following cases:
- when planning pregnancy;
- at late or early puberty;
- in determining the causes of infertility;
- the diagnosis of the causes of early menopause.
Often assigned to AMH analysis in the diagnosis of malignant ovarian disorders. Often, this research is carried out in cases of suspected development of polycystic woman. Furthermore, this study is often required in identifying the reasons for increasing the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Determining the level of these compounds allows to reveal the presence of the depletion of ovarian reserve.
After performing challenging procedures in IVF gynecologist can prescribe conduct this study to assess the possibility of fertilization.
Analysis on antimyullerovsky hormone can be administered during pregnancy to identify the sex of the child.
Antimyullerov indicators reflect not only on women but also on men's health. In men, this substance is produced Setroli cells. Analysis of blood hormone antimyullera may be made in the diagnosis of pathological conditions such as:
- inguinal hernia;
- infertility;
- cryptorchidism.
In addition, this analysis can be administered to adolescents during puberty in violation of the formation of the genital organs. Some researchers believe that donate to AMH analysis is necessary, since adolescence and up to menopause. This will allow to evaluate the fluctuation of the hormone in the blood.
How to prepare
There are a number of rules that must be followed in order to prepare for the analysis for the study. That the result was the most significant, the preparation is better to start in 3-5 days. It is necessary to give up sports and any physical activities at least 3 days prior to the date on which the scheduled blood donation.
Followed by 5 days prior to the study to eliminate from the diet of fatty foods. In addition, at the time of preparation is necessary to give up drinking alcohol. 2 days prior to analysis should stop using steroids.
In preparation is also necessary to keep calm and try not to get into stressful situations. Donate blood for research is necessary on an empty stomach. In the morning only still water you can drink before going to the clinic. In addition, it is desirable in the period of preparation to quit smoking.
That can affect the outcome
Many factors can influence the result of the analysis. You should not donate blood woman who has symptoms of an infectious disease. It is impossible to carry out the analysis, even if the patient has recently been cold. In addition, the impact on the results of the study are:
- brought a lot of stress;
- physical overload;
- Unhealthy Lifestyle.
Preparation of incorrect data may be due to the presence in a patient of autoimmune and infectious diseases occurring in the chronic form. In this case it is necessary to wait for the long-term remission for correct result. Research results correctly can affect hormonal drugs.
Moreover, incorrect data may be obtained if the patient has recently suffered a surgical intervention. Can affect the data flow of radiation and chemotherapy. Another factor that may influence the correctness of the results of the study, is the failure to comply with the rules of procedure, including blood collection and further analysis. Since the research results are influenced by many factors, it is important to prepare for carrying out the analysis.
On what day of the cycle take AMH hormone
For the most accurate results required to accurately calculate when to perform the procedure. It decided to hand over blood on the Anti-Müllerian hormone in a 3 day cycle. However, this recommendation does not fit all. 2-3 day pass analysis of those women who have a common cycle period is 21-24 days.
But if the cycle period is 28-30 days, 3 days to conduct blood sampling to perform yet. In this case, the analysis is carried out for 5-7 hours.
Blood donation to AMH can be carried out for 4 days before ovulation.
However, to determine when the onset of the day, a little more complicated if the cycle time slightly volatile.
How to get tested
There are some rules of procedure. Donating blood at AMH can only be an empty stomach. Fence conducted from a vein. The health worker must wear disposable gloves and use sterile syringe. The material is placed in a sterile tube and immediately signed. After that he sent to the laboratory for examination.
How many days to wait for results
In most cases, the analysis is done quickly, because it uses a special serum. In a well-equipped laboratories result can be prepared within 2 h. However, in some cases, to get the exact result you have to wait 2-3 days. In many ways, the waiting time period depends on the equipment of the laboratory in which the research will be carried out.
normal values
The norm of this hormone in both sexes varies throughout life. In girls, the figure is 8.9 ng / mL. After the onset of sexual maturity value may range from 10 to 12.6 ng / ml. After the onset of menopause acceptable AMH levels drop to 0.3 ng / ml.
In boys before puberty AMH rate is 46.1 - 78.1 ng / ml. This high level is required for normal formation of genital organs. In normal adult men age indicator is considered 5.6 mg / ml.
