Raised 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to autosomal recessive diseases resulting from deficiency of enzymes involved in the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. This study was designed to determine the frequency of suspected congenital adrenal hyperplasia patients by evaluating the laboratory data of blood 17-OHP. The study was conducted at Chemical Pathology Section of Department...
متن کاملMonitoring congenital adrenal hyperplasia using blood spot 17-hydroxyprogesterone assay.
Blood spots taken by finger prick collected on filter paper cards can provide an option to venous blood extraction in monitoring 17-OHP levels in children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). This study was done to evaluate the usefulness of blood spot 17-OHP in monitoring disease control in pre-pubertal children with CAH, to correlate it with simultaneously extracted venous 17-OHP levels...
متن کاملDiurnal variation in blood 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Blood spot 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations were measured serially over 24 hours in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency before they started treatment with glucocorticoids, and the development of diurnal rhythm in pituitary-adrenal activity was studied. Five infants aged 2 to 26 days showed an intradiem variation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrat...
متن کاملNeonatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and CYP21 genotypes in preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE Neonatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) among preterm infants is complicated by the fact that healthy preterm infants have higher levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) than term infants, resulting in a higher false-positive rate. Even when gestational age-related cutoff levels after ether extraction were used, the false-positive cases primarily comprised preter...
متن کاملCircadian patterns of plasma cortisol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and testosterone in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
In 11 children aged between 2 and 17 years with (nonsalt-losing) congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-hydroxylase deficiency) blood was drawn at 90-minute intervals during a 24-hour period and levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone, and cortisol were measured. Levels of 17-ketosteroids and pregnanetriol were measured too in 24-hour urine samples. These measurements were taken under differ...
