Clinical and laboratory criteria for occult form of premature ovarian failure

Abstract

Purpose of the study. To develop clinical and laboratory criteria characteristic of the occult (hidden) form of premature ovarian failure. Material and methods. A prospective study included 22 women under 40 years old with an occult form of premature ovarian failure (POF). A comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination included: a hormonal profile on the 2-3rd day of the menstrual cycle (Anti-Muller hormone, Follicle-stimulating hormone, Luteinizing hormone, Estradiol), levels of biochemical and genetic markers (number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene). Results. 22 patients with an average age of 30±6.1 years were included in the study. As a result, we adopted diagnostic criteria for premature aging of the ovaries, based on the capabilities of modern clinical and laboratory markers of ovarian reserve, reflecting the primordial pool of follicles and predictors involved in predicting the onset of spontaneous pregnancy and premature aging of the ovaries. Conclusion. To date, there is no global consensus on the best test for an accurate assessment of the quantity and quality of eggs, and there is no consensus on the staging of premature ovarian aging, and the etiology of the disease. It is necessary to conduct full-scale multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled studies, the results of which facilitated counseling patients and helping the clinician create an individualized treatment plan.
