General Description
18-Hydroxyprogesterone is a steroid hormone and a derivative of progesterone, formed through hydroxylation at the 18-position. It serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of aldosterone, a critical mineralocorticoid involved in regulating electrolyte and fluid balance. Elevated levels of 18-hydroxyprogesterone are often associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), particularly in cases of 11β-hydroxylase or 17α-hydroxylase deficiencies, where it may accumulate due to impaired enzymatic conversion. Its measurement is clinically useful in diagnosing and monitoring certain adrenal disorders.
