Inhibin B Test - Book at Low Cost

What is an Inhibin-B Test?

Inhibin-B is known to be a hormone that is secreted by the specific ovarian cells. These hormones can also sometimes indicate either an Ovarian Cancer or an underdeveloped fetus.

What is the Function of Inhibin-B in the body?

This hormone regulates the menstrual cycles and allows the fetus to develop during the pregnancy period.

The Inhibin-B Blood Test, on the other hand, is generally used to determine the levels of this hormone in the bloodstream.

It aids in determining a woman's ovary (reserve) as a measure of the chances of her becoming pregnant. If the woman is already pregnant, it would help in the detection of pregnancy anomalies such as - Ovarian Cancer.

Why is Inhibin-B Test done?

This test is used to assess the function of the antral follicles of the ovaries in women or the Sertoli cells of testes in men.

 It serves as adjunct to follicle-stimulating hormone testing during the infertility evaluation.

Inhibin B is made mostly by ovaries in females, and by testicles in males.

• In women:  Inhibin B is generally associated with the maturation of follicles in ovaries. The follicles are said to be those structures that develop into the mature eggs. The Inhibin B rise and fall at different periods/times during each of the menstrual cycle.
• In men: Inhibin B plays an important role in production of the sperm in testicles. Inhibin B levels are said to be higher in men with a normal fertility compared to those men who would not produce an adequate number of the viable sperms.

These roles allow the Inhibin- B tests to be used as a marker of the remaining fertility and the ovarian function in the women.

Note: This test is less commonly used to assess the fertility in men.
