Adrenal glands are present on top of the kidneys and produce another important hormone called cortisol. 17 OHP is converted to cortisol with the help of certain enzymes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people, however, cannot make enough cortisol because they lack an enzyme (21-hydroxylase) in the adrenal glands that are needed to make it. They&#8217;ll have a buildup of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in the blood because it&#8217;s not converted to cortisol. This test is primarily performed to <strong>check infants for an inherited disorder<\/strong> that affects the adrenal gland called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).&nbsp;17-OH progesterone Test Price usually ranges from Rs 750 to Rs 1900, and in-home sample collection may also be availed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/booking?city=delhi&amp;lab=96&amp;test=2\">Book 17-OHP Now &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>NABL Certified Lab, Free Home Collection &amp;
