What is 17-OH Progesterone?

This test measures the level of 17-OH Progesterone, a steroid hormone precursor, in your blood. It is used to assess the function of your adrenal glands and their hormone production.

Why is this test important?

It is a key test for diagnosing and monitoring Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), particularly 21-hydroxylase deficiency, in children and adults. Abnormal levels can indicate an issue with cortisol synthesis.
