17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a steroid hormone and is produced as part of the process of making the hormone cortisol. This test measures the amount of 17-OHP in the blood to identify or assess congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an inherited condition that results in decreased adrenal cortisol, aldosterone and increased male sex hormone (androgen) production. This test measures levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in the blood and is used primarily to screen for, detect, and monitor treatment for CAH in newborns.
