Currently, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increasing attention is paid to the ovarian reserve evaluation, which can serve as one of the markers of a favorable response to therapy and pregnancy planning. For this purpose, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is considered as the most sensitive marker, that reflect the continuous growth of small follicles. The article presents data on the relationship of serum hormone levels with age, ethnicity, body weight, disease activity, and therapy. We present clinical cases of three women of childbearing age with SLE, different duration of the disease and cumulative dose of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in whom the level of AMH in the blood serum was measured.
