What is a 17-OH Ketosteroids Test in Bangalore ?

The 17-OH ketosteroids test measures specific breakdown products of steroid hormones in your urine. These metabolites come mainly from adrenal and gonadal hormone production. Measuring them gives a picture of how much adrenal and androgen hormones your body is making. The test helps detect conditions like adrenal tumors, Cushing’s syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and other causes of hormone excess or deficiency. Doctors use the result with blood tests and imaging to diagnose problems, monitor treatment, or follow up after surgery. It can show abnormal hormone production even when symptoms are subtle, and it may guide further testing or treatment choices.

17-OH Ketosteroids Test Preparation in Bangalore

Collect a 24-hour urine sample as directed; avoid corticosteroids and some medications.

Why Take a 17-OH Ketosteroids Test in Bangalore ?

17-OH Ketosteroids is often part of an adrenal steroid profile or endocrine workup when doctors suspect hormone imbalance. It is ordered for symptoms like unexplained fatigue, high blood pressure, abnormal hair growth, early puberty, weight changes, or signs of virilization. The test helps diagnose or monitor Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and androgen excess. Abnormal results can come from disease, tumors, stress, or certain medications such as corticosteroids, and family history of endocrine disorders may prompt earlier testing.

What does it mean when you have 17-ketosteroids in your urine in Bangalore?plus

Presence of 17‑ketosteroids (17‑KS) in urine reflects breakdown products of androgens from the adrenal glands and gonads. Normal amounts vary by age and sex; elevated levels suggest excess androgen production from adrenal or testicular sources (e.g., tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s), while low levels may indicate hypogonadism or adrenal insufficiency. Abnormal results warrant further endocrine testing and imaging.

What is an example of a 17 ketosteroid in Bangalore?plus

Androsterone is an example of a 17‑ketosteroid. It’s a metabolite of testosterone and androstenedione that contains a keto group at carbon‑17. Produced by the adrenal glands and gonads, androsterone (and its isomer etiocholanolone) is commonly measured in urine to assess androgen production. Elevated or low levels can indicate adrenal or gonadal disorders.

What is a normal 17 ketosteroid level in Bangalore?plus

Normal 17‑ketosteroid (urine, 24‑hour) values vary by lab, age and sex. Typical adult references are roughly 6–20 mg/24 h for men and about 2–10 mg/24 h for women. Values outside the lab-specific reference range warrant clinical correlation and further endocrine assessment. Always interpret results against the laboratory’s stated normal range and the patient’s symptoms.

What is 17 OH corticosteroids in Bangalore?plus

17-hydroxy corticosteroids are steroid hormones (or their metabolites) containing a hydroxyl group at the 17 position, primarily cortisol and related compounds produced by the adrenal cortex. Measurement—often of urinary 17-OH steroids—helps assess adrenal function: levels rise in Cushing’s syndrome and some congenital adrenal hyperplasias, and fall in adrenal insufficiency. They reflect corticosteroid synthesis and breakdown.

What does it mean when 17 OH progesterone is high in Bangalore?plus

A high 17‑hydroxyprogesterone (17‑OHP) level generally indicates impaired steroidogenesis—most commonly 21‑hydroxylase deficiency causing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (classic or nonclassic). It can also reflect adrenal or ovarian tumors, adrenal hyperplasia, or PCOS and may be affected by stress or medications. Elevated 17‑OHP requires confirmatory testing (ACTH stimulation) and endocrine evaluation to determine cause and guide treatment.

What is the urine test for Cushing's disease in Bangalore?plus

The urine test for Cushing’s disease is the 24‑hour urinary free cortisol (UFC) measurement. It measures cortisol excreted over a full day to detect excessive cortisol production. Elevated UFC on two or more collections suggests Cushing’s and prompts further tests (dexamethasone suppression, late‑night salivary cortisol, imaging). Stress, medications, and collection errors can affect results.
