The 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone serum test is a specialized test that measures the levels of this hormone in the blood. It is crucial for evaluating adrenal gland function and detecting potential hormonal disorders such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We use the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is essential for patients experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalances or for those undergoing treatment who require regular monitoring of their hormone levels.
Fasting is not required for this test, but it is recommended to avoid taking hormonal medications before the test, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Please inform our staff about any treatments you are currently undergoing.
