Premature Ovarian Failure Panel
Summary
Premature ovarian
failure is the cessation of ovarian function prior to 40 years of age. It
is associated with autoimmunity in a significant population of women.
Autoantibodies frequently associated with premature ovarian failure
include anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA), anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA),
anti-thyroid antibodies (ATA), and anti-ovarian antibodies (AOA). To
ensure cessation of ovarian function, inhibin B is added to the panel to
aid in the diagnosis of premature ovarian failure.
Panel Tests Included
Anti-phospholipid antibodies
(APA), anti-nuclear
antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies
(ATA), anti-ovarian
antibodies (AOA), and inhibin B.
