The 11-Deoxycortisol test measures the levels of 11-deoxycortisol in the blood, which is a steroid hormone precursor to cortisol. It's used to help diagnose adrenal gland disorders, including 11β-hydroxylase deficiency and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The test is also part of the Metyrapone testing, a procedure to assess the adrenal glands' response to a medication that blocks cortisol production.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it measures:
The test measures the amount of 11-deoxycortisol in a blood sample.
Why it's used:
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: To diagnose and manage patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.
Metyrapone testing: To assess the adrenal gland's response to metyrapone, a medication that inhibits cortisol production. This can help diagnose adrenal insufficiency and Cushing's syndrome.
How it's performed:
The test is typically performed using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), says Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Specimen requirements:
A serum or plasma sample is usually required, collected in a specific tube (e.g., gel-barrier tube, red-top tube).
Reference ranges:
Reference ranges vary depending on age and other factors, but generally, adult reference ranges are around 0.7 – 2.7 nmol/L.
Turnaround time:
Results typically take 6-15 days, but can vary depending on the lab.
Cost:
The cost of the 11-Deoxycortisol test in Bangalore is around Rs. 1080, according to Orange Health Labs.
When to get tested:
The 11-Deoxycortisol test is typically ordered by a doctor after a patient has been assessed for potential adrenal gland disorders.
