Abstract

Introduction: Our aim was to evaluate the predictive values of factors that indicate successful sperm retrieval in men with nonobstructive AZOOSPERMIA. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 85 infertile men with nonobstructive AZOOSPERMIA who underwent multiple bilateral testicular biopsies. Factors including age, infertility period, surgical history, testicular volume, testicular consistency, serum FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH), serum INHIBIN B, serum luteinizing hormone, and serum total testosterone were assessed in relation to sperm retrieval results. Results: Spermatozoa were retrieved in 18 biopsies (21.2%). FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE, serum INHIBIN B, and testicular volume were associated with the results of sperm retrieval. Men with a higher testicular volume, a higher serum INHIBIN B, and a lower FSH had successful sperm retrieval. The cutoff points were determined as 9.5 mL for testicular volume, 9.9 IU/L for serum FSH, and 39.8 pg/mL for serum INHIBIN B. These 3 factors had strong correlations with each other. The sensitivities and specificities were 88.9% and 94% for testicular volume, 97% and 83.3% for FSH, and 72.2% and 95.5% for serum INHIBIN B, respectively. The positive predictive value for a combination of serum FSH and INHIBIN B was 100%. Conclusion: Serum FSH and serum INHIBIN B are useful markers for evaluation of the presence of sperm in patients with nonobstructive AZOOSPERMIA. INHIBIN B has a high specificity when combined with serum FSH and their measurements can be helpful in all patients with nonobstructive AZOOSPERMIA before decision making for sperm retrieval.
