What is 11-Deoxycortisol?
This test measures the level of 11-deoxycortisol, a hormone precursor, in your blood. It helps evaluate the function of your adrenal glands, which produce important hormones like cortisol.
Why is this test important?
Measuring 11-deoxycortisol is important for diagnosing specific adrenal disorders, particularly congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Abnormal levels can indicate issues with cortisol production.
