17-Hydroxy Progesterone (17-OHP)

17-Hydroxy Progesterone (17-OHP) is a blood test that measures the level of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, a hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands. This test is primarily used to screen for and diagnose congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic condition that affects hormone production. It may also help evaluate certain adrenal gland disorders and hormonal imbalances.
