Dynamic assay of serum inhibin B and estradiol concentrations obtained after gonadotrophin therapy as predictors of ovarian response in vitro fertilization cycle / 中华妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study prospectively the values of basal and dynamic measurement of inhibin B(INHB), estrodiol (E_2)following gonadotrophin therapy in vitro fertilization(IVF)cycles in predicting ovarian response to stimulation in young women. Methods A total of 57 patients younger than 40 years of age undergoing their first cycle of long protocol IVF treatment were studied and serum INHB, E_2 levels were detected on day 3 of the menstrual cycle, before the first administration of gonadotrophin (day 0), on days 1 and 5 after gonadotrophin therapy(day 1, day 5 ). Ovarian response was presented by number of oocytes/total rFSH dose and square root of (number of follicles/total rFSH dose). According to number of follicles, number of oocytes and presence or absence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS), we categorized the results into three different groups poor response, normal response and OHSS. Results (1) Hormone levels on days 1,5 of rFSH stimulation There were positive correlation between INHB (r_S0.69-0.73), E_2 (r_S0.60-0.73) and ovarian response (P=0.000). (2) INHB, and E_2 levels on day 5 of rFSH stimulation were significantly different between poor response, normal response and OHSS groups(P
