Overview

Prenatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency by measuring adrenal steroids in the amniotic fluid and monitoring maternal urine steroid metabolite excretion.

Screening

• Measuring adrenal steroids in the amniotic fluid helps in prenatal screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency.
• Monitoring maternal urine steroid metabolite excretion is also used for prenatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency
