Gonadal hypofunction is described in male and female patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) after bone marrow transplant (BMT) and in males treated with hydroxyurea (HU). Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a serum marker of ovarian reserve. This study describes AMH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in female SCA subjects treated with supportive care (SCA-SC), HU (SCA-HU) and BMT (SCA-BMT). SCA (SS/Sβ(0)) subjects not on HU, on HU and status-post BMT, ages 10-21 years were recruited. SCA-HU subjects were treated with HU ≥ 20 mg/kg for ≥ 12 consecutive months. SCA-BMT subjects had received busulfan and cyclophosphamide. Serum AMH and random FSH levels were obtained. Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) was defined as AMH level <5th percentile for age-matched controls. Subjects also with FSH >40 IU/L were classified as having premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). 14 SCA-SC (14.5 ± 2.7 years), 33 SCA-HU (14.4 ± 2.4 years) and 9 SCA-BMT (14.3 ± 2.7 years) females were included. AMH was undetectable in all SCA-BMT subjects and <5th percentile in 24% of SCA-HU subjects. FSH was menopausal (>40 IU/L) in 88.9% of SCA-BMT subjects. All SCA-BMT subjects and 24% of subjects on HU had DOR; 89% of SCA-BMT subjects had POI. AMH and FSH may be useful tools in assessing ovarian reserve and function.
骨髓移植(BMT)后患有镰状细胞贫血(SCA)的男性和女性患者以及接受羟基脲(HU)治疗的男性中存在性腺功能减退。抗苗勒管激素(AMH)是卵巢储备的血清标志物。本研究描述了接受支持性治疗(SCA-SC)、HU(SCA-HU)和BMT(SCA-BMT)的女性SCA受试者的AMH和促卵泡生成素(FSH)水平。招募了年龄在10至21岁、未接受HU治疗、接受HU治疗以及BMT后状态的SCA(SS/Sβ(0))受试者。SCA-HU受试者接受≥20mg/kg的HU连续治疗≥12个月。SCA-BMT受试者接受了白消安和环磷酰胺治疗。获取血清AMH和随机FSH水平。卵巢储备功能减退(DOR)定义为AMH水平低于年龄匹配对照组的第5百分位数。FSH>40IU/L的受试者也被分类为患有卵巢早衰(POI)。纳入了14名SCA-SC(14.5±2.7岁)、33名SCA-HU(14.4±2.4岁)和9名SCA-BMT(14.3±2.7岁)女性。所有SCA-BMT受试者的AMH均检测不到,24%的SCA-HU受试者的AMH低于第5百分位数。88.9%的SCA-BMT受试者的FSH处于绝经后水平(>40IU/L)。所有SCA-BMT受试者和24%接受HU治疗的受试者存在DOR;89%的SCA-BMT受试者患有POI。AMH和FSH可能是评估卵巢储备和功能的有用工具。
