2434. Ovarian tissue, total antibodies
Description
Antibodies to ovarian tissue may adversely affect the endocrine and reproductive functions of the ovaries. These autoantibodies affect the ovaries’ ability to produce steroid hormones in response to stimulation and disrupt the process of follicular maturation, initiating their destruction. As a result, the interaction between the egg and sperm is impaired.
The test is used to diagnose ovarian insufficiency, identify the cause of infertility, and as a screening method before in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Testing is recommended in combination with antisperm antibody testing or a MAR test.
When and who needs the test?
- Identification of the causes of secondary amenorrhea and infertility.
- Assessment of treatment outcomes following in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- As part of the evaluation of women with premature ovarian insufficiency.
- As part of a panel of tests used to determine the therapeutic approach in IVF cycles.
- Diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy and assessment of the risk of developing premature ovarian insufficiency in patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (IVF).
