Anti-mullerian hormone, inhibin B and antral follicle count as markers of premature ovarian failure in women with type I diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the different markers of ovarian reserve [AMH-Inhibin B, FSH and antral follicle count [AFC] in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM]. We studied 30 patients with IDDM as study groups [10cases >/=32 years group IV and 20 cases women as control groups [8 cases >32 years group III and 12 cases <32 years group I. Serum levels of FSH, LH, inhibin B and AMH were measured at [days 1-7] of menstrual cycle and AFC was done by trans vaginal ultrasound. AMH levels were lower in IDDM patients than in controls > 32 years [2.35 +/- 2.2 versus 7.79 +/- 1.73 p<0.000]. Also IDDM groups showed lower levels of inhibin B. While there is no difference in the levels of FSH. AFC is valuable for the diagnoses of premature ovarian failure in IDDM. Compared with FSH [AMH and inhibin B] are more valuable for the diagnosis of premature ovarian aging in IDDM patients which developed earlier decline in the ovarian follicle pool compared with the healthy women and also AMH is more valuable than AFC for detection of premature ovarian failure in IDDM
