HYDROXY-17 PROGESTERONE (17-OHP), SERUM

The adrenal glands produce the 17-Hydroxyprogesterone hormone (17-OH progesterone). These are two tiny glands on top of each kidney. 17-OH progesterone transforms into a hormone called by specific enzymes or proteins. Cortisol is essential in the regulation of metabolism and the immune system. As the adrenal glands work harder to produce more cortisol, they have more 17-OHP and other male sex hormones. The cost of the 17 OHP test in Delhi varies according to location and facility. CAH can result in abnormal sex organ development and sexual traits. The disorder can cause severe symptoms. If left untreated, the most potent forms of CAH can result in serious problems such as dehydration, low blood pressure, and irregular pulse (arrhythmia). The 17 Hydroxy Progesterone test results in Delhi are available three days after the blood sample is collected.
