The role of anti-Müllerian hormone in the diagnostics of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescence (review)

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of hyperandrogenism in women. The criteria for diagnosis in women of reproductive age at present are subject to dispute. At the same time, diagnosis in adolescent girls is associated with even greater challenges, since many of the manifestations of the disease are a manifestation of normal puberty. In the absence of clear criteria for diagnosis in adolescence, more attention is paid to the search for new markers PCOS, one of which may be anti-Müllerian hormone. However, data on its diagnostic value is currently controversial, which calls for more extensive research in order to develop specific criteria for the diagnosis PCOS in teenagers.
