A Rapid Test to Determine Ovarian Reserve Using Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)

AMH Rapid Test: Semi-Quantitative Detection of Anti-Müllerian Hormone

The rapid anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test is a simple and accurate method for semi-quantitative detection of AMH in a fingerstick blood sample. This test aids in assessing ovarian reserve and diagnosing ovarian function, including in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Key Test Features

✔Accuracy: Highly reliable semi-quantitative detection of AMH.

✔Ease of Use: Suitable for home use.

✔Convenience: Fast results in just 10 minutes.

✔Diagnostic Aid: Assessment of ovarian reserve and diagnosis of PCOS.

How Does the Test Work?

The test uses an immunochromatographic method to detect AMH in a fingerstick blood sample. If AMH is present, the test displays the result by coloring the marker in the test zone, which is compared to a color chart for a semi-quantitative assessment.

What Is AMH?

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by developing follicles in the ovaries. Its levels reflect ovarian reserve—the number of remaining follicles and the potential for conception. AMH levels are high at the onset of puberty and decline with age, becoming undetectable after menopause.

AMH and PCOS

Elevated AMH levels may be an indicator of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal disorder in women characterized by elevated levels of male hormones (androgens).

How to Use It?

1️⃣Prepare the test: Make sure the test and the buffer are at room temperature.

2️⃣Take a blood sample:

• • Wash and disinfect your finger.
  • Use the lancet to prick your finger.
  • Collect a drop of blood using the capillary tube.

3️⃣Apply the sample: Place 1 drop of blood into the three sample wells on the test cassette (marked with an S).

4️⃣Wait: Allow the test to develop for 10 minutes.

5️⃣Interpret the result: Compare the color of the test zone (T) with the color chart.

Interpreting the Results:

✅ Normal: Two colored lines—one in zone C and one in zone T. The intensity of the line in zone T is between 1 ng/mL and 7 ng/mL.

Lower ovarian reserve: Only one line in zone C. This indicates low AMH levels.

PCOS: Two colored lines—one in zone C and one in zone T. The intensity of the line in zone T is darker than 7 ng/mL.

⚠ Invalid: No line in Zone C – repeat the test with a new device.

Useful Additional Information

When is the best time to test?

The test can be used at any time, as AMH levels do not change significantly throughout the menstrual cycle.

What should I do if my AMH levels are low?

Low AMH levels may indicate a reduced ovarian reserve. Consult a doctor for further testing and options for planning a pregnancy.

What should I do if my AMH levels are elevated?

Elevated AMH levels may be an indicator of PCOS. Consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Can the test produce a false result?

False results are possible if the sample is collected incorrectly or the procedure is not followed properly. Follow the instructions carefully.

Helpful Tips

• Store the test properly: Use the test at room temperature and avoid direct sunlight.
• Follow the instructions: Strict adherence to the procedure ensures accurate results.
• Consult a doctor: The test results are indicative and must be confirmed by a doctor.

The test result is indicative. Final confirmation should be made by a doctor after all clinical and laboratory results have been evaluated.
