The reproductive potential of women is related to their age. The female physiology is such that the ovaries are to supply on monthly basis eggs that will be needed for fertilization. As a woman ages, her supply of eggs gradually decreases over time until the eggs are depleted at menopause. The ovary is expected to age parallel to reproductive age, but sometimes it does not behave as predicted. That is the reason why, screening for ovarian reserve is an important part of the initial evaluation for infertility patients of any age. Women at risk of reproductive aging irrespective of their chronological age could be identified early. Evaluating infertility require series of investigations which involves invasive and cumbersome procedures. The use of urine markers of ovarian function would provide non-invasive and less cumbersome method of assessing women that require treatment for their infertility. AIM To determine the correlation between serum FSH/LH and urinary FSH/LH as tools for asses...
