Abstract
Our objective was to compare inhibin B and conventional basal determinants in designating the ovarian reserve in patients receiving assisted reproductive treatment. A total of 58 women ,aged 19–47 years ,who were accepted for assisted reproductive treatment at the Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Hospital ,Department of Assisted Reproductive Technologies ,were included in the study. The age ,body mass index ,basal levels of follicle stimulating hormone ,estradiol and inhibin B ,volume of the ovary and number of antral follicles were compared prospectively. When the number of oocytes collected was ≥ 5 ,this was accepted as a sufficient ovarian response. Serum inhibin B (cut-off level 56 pg/ml) ,as a basal determinant of ovarian reserve ,had the highest sensitivity (81%) and specificity (81%). The usefulness of serum inhibin B measurement as a basal determinant of ovarian reserve is supported.
