Anti-Müllerian hormone

During the last years a lot of studies report about the value of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) – well known from embryology since long time – in relation to ovarian reserve. In the beginning AMH was regarded as the answer to nearly all open questions dealing with ovarian function. In the meanwhile and after initial euphoria different studies have shown it?s realistic position in laboratory work up. This article deals with the actual knowledge about AMH in diagnostic and therapy which is relevant in our daily routine work.
