Test Overview & Methodology
The 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) test is a specialised endocrine assay that quantifies serum 17-OHP to screen for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and assess adrenal cortical function. In the UAE, DHA protocols mandate early morning specimen collection to achieve diagnostic accuracy for disorders like non-classic CAH, hirsutism, and infertility.
The assay employs high-specificity radioimmunoassay (RIA) with LC-MS/MS cross-calibration, ensuring minimal cross-reactivity and reliable results.
| Feature | Our Test (DNA Labs UAE) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Method | High-specificity RIA with LC-MS/MS cross-calibration, ISO 9001:2015 accredited | Direct immunoassay without LC-MS/MS validation; may produce cross-reactivity errors |
| Turnaround Time | Standard 1 week (5 working days) | Often 8–10 days, no guaranteed reporting window |
| Cost & Convenience | 170 AED inclusive; hospital-grade cold-chain home collection (8 AM–11 PM) | 180–250 AED; clinic visit required, no home draw |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed general practitioner, I emphasize that 17-OHP results must be interpreted in the full clinical context – including morning versus afternoon sampling, menstrual phase, and concurrent medications. A single elevated result does not confirm CAH; always involve a specialist for definitive evaluation.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, DHA License No. 36234132
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed corticosteroids or any hormonal therapy without consulting your physician. Abrupt withdrawal can precipitate adrenal crisis.
Exclusion Criteria & Clinical Red Flags
- Current high‑dose biotin therapy (may interfere with immunoassay).
- Severe needle phobia or known vasovagal syncope – alternative sampling under monitored care is advised.
- Red Flag: If you experience sudden severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, light‑headedness, or confusion after missing steroid doses, seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the 17‑OHP test used for?
The 17‑OHP test screens for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, monitors adrenal function, and aids in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, helping clinicians determine the root cause of hyperandrogenism.
2. How should I prepare for the 17‑OHP test?
Collect an early morning fasting serum sample; avoid exogenous corticosteroids and progestins, and disclose all medications and supplements to your referring physician before sample collection.
3. When will I receive my results, and can I use health insurance?
Your results are delivered within one week; direct billing to major UAE insurers is confirmed via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 prior to the home collection.
