-
Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative analyses on a body fluid sample (typically urine) to determine 17-hydroxycorticosteroid (17-OHCS), a cortisol metabolite. Determination of 17-OHCS in urine is used in tests of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, secondary adrenal insufficiency, and other adrenal diseases. The assays for determination of cortisol, both in urine and blood, have decreased the use of urine cortisol metabolite testing.
