Specimens: 0.5 ml Serum (s), frozen
Preanalytics/Notes: AMH should be determined in the early follicular phase between day 3 and 5 of the menstrual cycle, as it can be significantly lower in the second half of the cycle. With hormonal contraception, values can be up to 30% lower. Patients receiving high doses of biotin (> 5 mg / day) should be sampled at least 8 hours after the last application, as high levels of biotin may interfere with the test system.
