AN OVERVIEW
About 17 OH Progesterone test
Why is the 17 OH Progesterone Test done?
A buildup of 17 OH Progesterone occurs in the blood if there is a deficiency of Cortisol. Excess buildup of 17 OH Progesterone can indicate the existence of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. This can lead to increased production of Androgens, popularly known as the male sex hormone. CAH can even affect infants who may experience dehydration or shock, which can harm them in serious ways. This is why the 17 OH Progesterone Test is made a part of the checkup of newborns and infants.
CAH can cause various serious problems including infertility and is important to be tested early to find a resolution.
What does 17 OH Progesterone Test measure

In adults, it can be indicative of adrenal cancer, tumour, or infertility among other things.
