Overview
Objective: To summarize the posibilities of diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve.
Design: Survey of contemporary knowledge.
Settings: PPCHC, Sanus Jihlava; PPCHC, Sanus Hradec Králové; Reprogenesis, Brno.
Methods: Review of literature.
Conclusion: Voluntary or involuntary motherhood postmonement to the third decade of woman‘s life needs presice evaluation of the ovarian reserve before the infertility treatment. Contemporary there are: 1 hormonal tests (basal and dynamic), 2 ultrasonographic markers of ovarian reserve. The most perspective markers of ovarian reserve seems AMH a AFC.
Keywords: ovarian reserve, reproductive aging, FSH, inhibin B, estradiol, AMH, CCCT, GAST, EFORT, AFC, ovarian volume, ovarian blood flow
