General Information

Determination of 17-hydroxycorticoid in urine

17-OH-corticosteroids are produced by the metabolism of cortisol in the liver and other tissues. Determination of 17-OH-corticosteroids in urine is used to estimate the amount of cortisol produced. The test is often used in the diagnostics of Cushing's syndrome.

 

Research material

24 hour urine

 

How to prepare for the test

Before collecting a urine sample, it is recommended to stop taking such medications as:

Reference values

Cushing's syndrome caused by adrenal gland tumor - hyperproduction of cortisol

depression

Treatment with hydrocortisone

obesity

pregnancy

extreme physical and emotional stress

Adrenal gland failure (not producing enough cortisol)

In the case of functional failure of the pituitary gland - with a decrease in the production of adrenocorticotropic hormone
