Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency include increased deoxycorticosterone and corticosterone with low cortisol.
Laboratory Findings
Diagnosis is based on laboratory findings as following:[1]
- Elevated levels of deoxycorticosterone and corticosterone (>4,000 ng/dL, >116 nmol/L) with low cortisol (<5 mcg/dL, <138 nmol/L) is diagnostic.
- Elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone
- Elevated follicle-stimulating hormone
- Elevated luteinizing hormone
- Decreased serum levels of 17-hydroxypregnenolone
- Decreased 17-hydroxyprogesterone
- Decreased dehydroepiandrosterone
- Decreased androstenedione
- Decreased testosterone
- Decreased 17-hydroxylase corticosteroid
- Decreased urinary 17-ketosteroid
- Decreased estrogen
- Decreased aldosterone
- Decreased renin
