Abstract

Background: There is a correlation between anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and the age when it becomes undetectable during menopause. The AMH immunoassay has been widely estimated in clinical practice to assist in reproduction and infertility treatment._x000D_  _x000D_ Objective: To investigate the normal level of serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) in relation to women’s age in Basra._x000D_  _x000D_ Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study was carried out in Basra Maternity and Child Hospital from January 2018 to September 2019. Serum AMH levels were estimated for 975 women aged 15–50 years. They were classified into 7 age groups:15–20, 20–25, 25–30, 30–35, 35–40, 40–45 and 45–50 years. Serum AMH and FSH levels were determined by commercial enzyme-linked immunoassay._x000D_  _x000D_ Results: Negative relationship was noticed between AMH concentration and age. The mean AMH levels for the age groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 were 4.9 ng/ml, 4.25ng/ml, 3.27 ng/ml, 2.43ng/ml, 2.17ng/ml, 1.95ng/ml and 0.9ng/ml respectively._x000D_  _x000D_ Conclusions: This study recorded normal levels of AMH in women in Basra. These levels can be considered for the medical treatment of infertile women._x000D_  _x000D_
