The importance of elevated basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone in the diagnosis of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is usually characterised by a deficiency of 21a-hydroxylase, which causes a deficiency of cortisol and aldosterone and an overproduction of 17-hydroxyprogesterone.

Limitations of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in investigating neonatal hyponatraemia [PDF]

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2004
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a possible cause of hyponatraemia in the neonate. Elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is considered diagnostic of the condition, although there have been reports of anomalous high concentrations, up to 110 nmol/L, in premature, sick infants subsequently shown to have normal ...
