Contribution of serum anti-Müllerian hormone in the management of azoospermia and the prediction of testicular sperm retrieval outcomes: a study of 155 adult men

Table 3 Correlations between AMH and inhibin B, FSH, LH, total testosterone serum levels, mean testicular volume and age at TESE in each category of azoospermia

The relationship between AMH serum levels and other hormonal profiles and mean testicular volume was assessed by Spearman’s correlation
