Resumen
C, Benvegnu et al. Premature ovarian insufficiency. Rev. argent. endocrinol. metab. [online]. 2019, vol.56, n.1, pp.20-29. ISSN 1851-3034.
Premature ovarian insufficiency, the loss of ovarian function before the age of 40 years, is characterized by hipergonadotrofic hipogonadism and amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea. The etiology is multifactorial, and can be due to genetic, metabolic, autoimmune, environmental or iatrogenic causes, being idiopathic 90% of cases.
Currently there is not a single marker that can be used for estimate ovarian reserve in this patients; however, in recent years antimüllerian hormone has proved to have some advantages over other classical biomarkers. Moreover, several studies indicate a positive correlation between antimüllerian hormone concentration and antral follicle count, considered nowadays the most reliable method for ovarian reserve estimation.
