Overview
Prenatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency by
Screening
- Measuring adrenal steroids in the amniotic fluid helps in prenatal screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency.[1]
- Monitoring maternal urine steroid metabolite excretion is also used for prenatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency
