At Diagnopein, we use advanced hormone testing technology to deliver accurate and fast results, helping doctors detect hormonal disorders and guide effective treat
The 17-Hydroxy-Progesterone (17-OHP) Test measures the level of the hormone 17-hydroxy-progesterone in the blood. This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands and gonads and plays a crucial role in the production of cortisol and sex hormones.
Abnormal levels of 17-OHP may indicate issues related to the adrenal glands, such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) — a genetic disorder that affects hormone balance.
Why is the 17-Hydroxy-Progesterone Test Important?
The 17-OHP test is primarily used to screen and diagnose Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) in newborns, children, and adults. It also helps evaluate infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and excess hair growth (hirsutism) in women.
You may need this test if you experience:
Unexplained fatigue or weakness
Irregular periods or infertility
Early puberty in children
Virilization (development of male features in females)
Low blood pressure or dehydration
By identifying 17-OHP imbalance early, your doctor can determine whether your adrenal glands are producing hormones correctly and recommend proper treatment.
Benefits of the 17-Hydroxy-Progesterone Test
Early Detection of CAH: Helps diagnose congenital adrenal hyperplasia in infants and adults.

How is the 17-OHP Test Done?
The 17-hydroxy-progesterone test requires a blood sample.
A trained phlebotomist collects a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm.
Fasting is not usually required, but your doctor may advise specific instructions.
For women, timing the test according to the menstrual cycle ensures more accurate results.
In newborns, the test is often performed as part of newborn screening for CAH.

No special preparation is needed for the test. However, you should inform your healthcare provider of any medications you are taking, as they may influence hormone levels.
The test is primarily used to measure hormone levels in the blood to diagnose conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), adrenal tumors, or hormonal imbalances related to fertility or menstrual irregularities.
If your results show abnormal hormone levels, your healthcare provider at Diagnopein will recommend additional tests or treatments to identify and address the underlying condition.
Results typically come back within a few days. Your healthcare provider at Diagnopein will schedule a follow-up to discuss the results and next steps.
