Background: Routine biochemical assessment in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) includes measurement of serum 17 hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP), androstenedione (A4) and testosterone (T) and their metabolites in urine. Several studies have also described 11 oxygenated 19 carbon (11oxC19) steroids as a clinically relevant androgenetic source and highlighted their potential as markers for evaluation of adrenal androgen excess in patients with 21-hy...
