Additional Test Information
Reference ranges for males have not been established for this assay. AMH concentration in boys up through 12 years old are much higher than those found in adult females. In boys with cryptorchidism, a measurable AMH concentration is predictive of undescended testis, while undetectable levels is suggestive of anorchia or functional failure of the abnormally sited gonad.
