17-Hydroxyprogesterone

The 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) test is a simple blood test used to measure the level of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and ovaries. This test is often ordered to evaluate adrenal function and diagnose conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic disorder affecting hormone production. It may also help in assessing the cause of irregular periods, infertility, or abnormal hair growth in women.
