Mullerian inhibiting substance
An anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in a blood sample. In males, AMH is made by the testicles (or testes), which are glands that make sperm and male hormones. In females, the ovaries make AMH. The ovaries are glands where eggs form and female hormones are made.
AMH tests are mainly used with other tests to make decisions about treating female infertility (not being able to get pregnant).
