Impact of Underlying Renal Disease and Immunosuppressive Regimen on Ovarian Reserve in Renal Patients

February 18, 2021 updated by: Wroclaw Medical University

Impact of the Immunosuppressive Treatment, X-ray Exposition and Renal Pathology on Ovarian Reserve in Young Women

Aging, renal pathology (eg SLE, ADPKD), X-ray exposition and pharmacological treatments, especially previous strong immunosuppression, may negatively influence the ovarian reserve in childbearing age women. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is regarded as biomarker for ovarian reserve.

Every female with renal disease regularly menstruating that met exclusion criteria could have participated. The aim was to assess ovarian reserve in female patients with normal menstrual cycle and kidney disease, including kidney transplant recipients.
