re: To anyone able to help with lab results! May. 24th, 2008 10:28pm
I have not researched this, but Quest lab says that the level should be over 350 ng/dL:
After puberty, a post-ACTH stimulation 17-OHP level between 1500 ng/dL and 10,000 ng/dL is considered diagnostic of nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency. An 11-deoxycortisol level >350 ng/dL or 11-deoxycortisol:cortisol ratio >15 is diagnostic of 11ß-hydroxylase deficiency. After ACTH stimulation, a 17-hydroxypregnenolone level >1500 ng/dL and 17-hydroxypregnenolone:17-OHP and DHEA:androstenedione ratios >10 are considered diagnostic of 3ß-HSD.
There is a lot of information on this page: http://www.questdiagnostics.com/hcp/intguide/jsp/showintguidepage.jsp?fn=CF_CAH.htm
