17 – KETOSTEROIDS, 24–HOUR URINE
17-ketosteroids (17-KS) are derived from adrenal cortex and testes and are excreted in the urine. These are metabolites of adrenal and gonadal androgenic steroids. In men, 60-70% & in women nearly 100% of these are produced in the adrenal cortex. They are useful in evaluating gonadal and adrenal disorders.

5α- DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE; 5α- DHT
This assay is useful for monitoring patients receiving 5 alpha reductase inhibitor therapy or chemotherapy. It also helps to evaluate patients with possible 5 Alpha reducatse deficiency. Low levels are seen in patients on 5 Alpha reductase inhibitor therapy and in cases of genetic 5 Alpha reductase deficiency.

ACTH
This assay is used to determine the cause of Hypocortisolism & Hypercortisolism states. In a patient with hypocortisolism, an elevated ACTH indicates Primary adrenal insufficiency whereas normal levels are consistent with secondary adranal insufficiency from pituitary or hypothalamic causes. In a patient of hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome), a suppressed value is consistent with Cortisol producing Adrenal adenoma/carcinoma, Primary adrenal micronodular hyperplasia & Exogenous corticosteroid use.
