Steroid profile for urine: reference values.

We describe a project, participated in by 24 institutions in The Netherlands and Belgium, to determine normal reference values for steroids in urine by capillary gas chromatography. Urine samples from 288 healthy volunteers were analyzed in triplicate. Reference values, expressed in mumol/24 h, were determined for androsterone, etiocholanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone, 11-keto-androsterone, 11-k...
