To investigate the diagnostic potential of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in the differential diagnosis of various hyperandrogenemic conditions.
Among 2241 consecutive women of reproductive age who were seen at a tertiary care university hospital with complaints of acne, hirsutism, androgenetic alopecia, and menstrual dysfunction (oligomenorrhea and/or amenorrhea), 107 patients with serum 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP) levels higher than 2 ng/ml were recruited for this study. An ACTH stimulation test was performed, and basal serum hormonal parameters and AMH levels were measured for all patients.
25 patients were diagnosed with late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LOCAH), and 59 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) had significantly higher serum AMH levels than all other groups.
Among hyperandrogenemic patients with serum 17α-OHP levels >2 ng/ml, serum AMH levels might be introduced as a marker to be utilized clinically in the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenemic patients, especially for identifying patients with PCOS.
探讨抗苗勒管激素(AMH)在各种高雄激素血症疾病鉴别诊断中的诊断潜力。
在一所三级医疗大学医院就诊的2241例连续育龄女性中,她们主诉有痤疮、多毛症、雄激素性脱发和月经功能障碍(月经过少和/或闭经),本研究招募了107例血清17α-羟孕酮(17α-OHP)水平高于2 ng/ml的患者。对所有患者进行促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)刺激试验,并测量基础血清激素参数和AMH水平。
25例患者被诊断为迟发性先天性肾上腺皮质增生症(LOCAH),59例多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)患者的血清AMH水平显著高于所有其他组。
在血清17α-OHP水平>2 ng/ml的高雄激素血症患者中,血清AMH水平可作为一种标志物用于高雄激素血症患者的临床鉴别诊断,尤其是用于识别PCOS患者。
