Abstract
Objective: To compare serum Anti Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels
in infertile women with and without endometriosis, and to determine
the mean levels of serum AMH in every stage of endometriosis.
Method: We performed a cross-sectional study. Sixty-eight subjects
who have undergone laparoscopy and fulfilled both inclusion and
exclusion criteria are recruited consecutively. They are divided into
two groups, namely group with endometriosis and without endometriosis.
Blood samples are taken from each subject before laparoscopy,
where serum AMH levels are then measured. The difference
in mean levels of each group are tested with Mann-Whitney
test.
Result: The mean levels of serum AMH were significantly lower in
the endometriosis group than those in the group without endometriosis (2.30 1.8 ng/ml vs 3.75 2.13 ng/ml; p=0.005). Using
Kruskal-Wallis test, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference among endometriosis groups based on the severity of endometriosis. There was no significant difference in the mean serum AMH levels between the minimal-mild endometriosis group and without endometriosis group (p=0.34), but the mean levels of serum AMH were significantly lower in the moderate-severe endometriosis compare to the group without endometriosis (p
