Introduction
The normal range for anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is generally 2–7 ng/mL. AMH is a primary marker used to assess ovarian function and evaluate ovarian reserve. Hormone levels vary among individuals, and AMH values are therefore highly individualized; however, the commonly adopted reference range is 2–7 ng/mL.
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a hormone discovered in the 1940s. Both male and female germ cells can secrete AMH. So, what constitutes a normal AMH level?
Normal AMH Levels
The typical reference range for AMH is 2–7 ng/mL. AMH is a key indicator used primarily to assess ovarian function and evaluate ovarian reserve. Hormone levels vary significantly among individuals; therefore, AMH values are highly individualized. However, in most clinical settings, the commonly adopted reference range remains 2–7 ng/mL.
In females, serum AMH concentrations are relatively low at birth. Levels rise during puberty, peak in early adulthood, and remain relatively high throughout the reproductive years. Thereafter, AMH concentrations gradually decline with advancing age and other contributing factors. After menopause, AMH becomes undetectable. Thus, AMH serves as one of the most critical biomarkers for evaluating ovarian reserve.
Of course, excessively high AMH levels are also undesirable. Markedly elevated AMH may suggest polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or, less commonly, an ovarian tumor. Conversely, low AMH levels indicate diminished ovarian function and may adversely affect fertility. We hope this information has been helpful to you.
