In Mumbai, PharmEasy Labs offer all kinds of diagnostic tests at affordable prices, including the AMH test.

The anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) or Mullerian inhibiting hormone is secreted by the granulosa cells in female foetuses and Sertoli cells in male foetuses. The AMH's first function in a person's life is helping in the development of male and female reproductive organs while in the womb. In the female foetus, AMH remains low to allow female reproductive organs to develop. In male foetuses, the AMH levels are high, which is conducive for the growth of male reproductive organs.

Once the female baby is born, the AMH level continues to remain now until the end of her developmental phase (until puberty). After that, it continues to rise till she is approximately 25 years old and then it starts to fall.

AMH levels in women after puberty are an indication of her egg count. If the AMH level is high, it usually corresponds to higher fertility because high egg count causes high AMH levels. It can tell how many eggs a woman has left and whether her ovaries are ageing at the correct pace. For people planning to have a biological child, the AMH test can help to determine whether they can conceive naturally or medical aid will be needed.

In male children, the AMH levels are high throughout their developmental stage and start to drop post-puberty. Not much is known about the role AMH plays in an adult man's health but some studies have revealed that sperm quality is influenced by AMH levels.

In case a baby is born with both male and female reproductive organs, the AMH test also helps to find out which set of organs is more active.

Due to several contributing factors, the price of an AMH test may vary. In Mumbai, the standard cost of an AMH test on PharmEasy is around INR 1099, though it may vary slightly depending on offers and location.

Doctors prescribe the AMH test for the following purposes-

• Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes high AMH levels
• Eliminating the possibility of cancer if a mass develops in the ovaries.
• To check how well you are responding to PCOS medication
• Determining egg reserves.
• To decide if fertility treatment will be needed
• Finding out if a woman is approaching menopause
• To see how many eggs are left in the ovaries.
• When a male baby is born with undescended testicles, this test tells if the testicles are healthy so that surgery can be done to correct this condition.

Regular birth control pills, hormone therapy and hormonal contraception can affect AMH levels. Your doctor will let you know when you need to stop taking these before the test.

Fasting is not required for the AMH test.

Let your doctor know if you have been diagnosed with any disorder and are taking medicines for the same.

During the AMH Test

A phlebotomist from PharmEasy will reach your home at the predetermined time. With a vein finder to accurately locate the right vein and freshly opened needle and syringe, a small sample of your blood will be collected to be analysed for AMH levels.

The AMH normal range in females is as follows:

Your age and gender determine the normal range of the AMH results. Talk to your health care provider if the values are beyond AMH normal range.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

• In infant (male)

Low amounts of AMH in a male child may suggest a problem with the AMH gene on chromosome 19. This chromosome controls AMH production and is associated with malfunctioning testicles. Male hormone deficiency can induce ambiguous genitalia and abnormal reproductive organs.
