The 17-Alpha Hydroxyprogesterone Test measures the level of 17-OHP, a steroid hormone that plays an essential role in the production of cortisol. Abnormal 17-OHP levels can indicate adrenal gland disorders, hormonal imbalance, and genetic conditions such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). This test is widely used in newborn screening and in individuals showing symptoms of adrenal dysfunction.

This Test helps doctors evaluate adrenal gland function, diagnose hormonal imbalance, and identify fertility-related issues. It is especially helpful for diagnosing CAH, a condition where the adrenal glands cannot produce hormones effectively, leading to hormone imbalance and metabolic issues.

Why is the 17-Alpha Hydroxyprogesterone  Test Done?

Doctors recommend this test to:

  • Diagnose Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

  • Evaluate adrenal gland disorders or insufficiency

  • Investigate early puberty symptoms

  • Assess irregular menstrual cycles

  • Diagnose fertility issues related to hormone imbalance

  • Detect adrenal tumors or abnormal hormone production

  • Monitor individuals undergoing CAH treatment

Who Should Get This Test?

This test is recommended for:

  • Newborns screened for CAH

  • Individuals with early puberty signs

  • Women with irregular periods or infertility

  • Patients showing symptoms of adrenal insufficiency

  • Those suspected of having adrenal gland tumors

  • Individuals with hormonal imbalance symptoms like fatigue, low blood pressure, or abnormal hair growth

What’s Included in This Test?

  • Measurement of 17-OHP hormone levels

  • Screening and diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

  • Evaluation of adrenal gland function

  • Assessment of fertility-related hormone imbalance

  • Monitoring CAH treatment progress

Test Details

Sample Type: Serum (1 mL)
Method: ELISA / CLIA (Chemiluminescent Immunoassay)

The test provides accurate, reliable measurement of 17-OHP levels, ensuring precise hormonal assessment.

Understanding the Results

  • High 17-OHP Levels:
    Suggest CAH, adrenal tumors, or impaired cortisol production.

  • Low 17-OHP Levels:
    May indicate adrenal insufficiency or reduced hormone production.

Doctors may recommend additional hormonal tests for confirmation.

Why This Test is Important?

This test is crucial because it:

  • Enables early diagnosis of CAH and adrenal disorders

  • Helps identify hormone imbalance affecting fertility

  • Supports decisions regarding hormone therapy

  • Assists in monitoring treatment response

  • Empowers patients to manage long-term endocrine health

The 17-Alpha Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) Test is a powerful diagnostic tool for detecting adrenal dysfunction and hormonal abnormalities, ensuring timely intervention and better health outcomes.
