17-OH Progesterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and ovaries/testes, used mainly to screen for and monitor congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a group of inherited conditions affecting hormone production.
Ordered to screen for or monitor congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and sometimes as part of evaluating symptoms of androgen excess in women.
It can help your doctor assess
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia and, as part of a broader workup, other causes of androgen excess.
This test may be considered for:
Newborns (as part of standard screening in many regions), people with symptoms suggestive of CAH, and women being evaluated for androgen-excess symptoms where CAH needs to be ruled out.
Whether this test is right for you depends on your symptoms, medical history and the reason for testing - your doctor can advise.
The concentration of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in the blood.
17-OH Progesterone
Adrenal Hormone
A key screening and monitoring marker for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a condition affecting the adrenal glands’ hormone production pathway.
How to read your result
Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a diagnosis, and a result inside the interval does not rule out every health problem. Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.
| Marker | Result | What it may be associated with |
|---|---|---|
| 17-OH Progesterone | High | Can suggest congenital adrenal hyperplasia, especially when significantly elevated - further hormone testing helps confirm the diagnosis. |
If a result is outside the range
If the 17 OH Progesterone is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.
Limitations of this test
Interpretation depends heavily on age (newborn vs. adult) and clinical context - your doctor will consider this alongside other adrenal hormone tests.
An abnormal result does not by itself mean you have a particular disease. Your doctor interprets results together with your symptoms, history and other tests.
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 17-OH Progesterone (adult women, follicular phase) | 0.2 - 1.3 | ng/mL |
Typical adult ranges for guidance. Reference intervals vary with the laboratory method, age and sex - always read your result against the range printed on your own report.
