Abstract

Objective: Low levels of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) have been linked to heart disease. It's been suggested that it can help forecast the risk of preeclampsia. The goal of this scoping review is to present the most recent evidence on the function of AMH in preeclampsia prediction. Materials and methods: We looked through web-based databases and key terms like AMH, preeclampsia, predictor, and inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight research papers were evaluated; however, two studies with retrospective cohorts and follow-up were removed, resulting in a final analysis of six investigations. There were 558 subjects examined in all. There were 243 with preeclampsia and 315 with normal blood pressure. Results: Three of the six studies found a statistically significant link between low AMH levels and preeclampsia (p = 0.05), while the other two studies were near to the level of statistical significance (p = 0.06). The current literature implies that low-blood AMH levels may have a prognostic value in women developing preeclampsia. Conclusion: Higher levels of serum AMH are associated with a decreased risk of preeclampsia, according to current research.
