x
Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Pregnenolone Test in Mehsana to diagnose the underlying cause of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) in newborns.
Overview of Pregnenolone Test
The Pregnenolone Test is done as an ancillary test to identify presence of CAH in infants. Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone produced naturally by the adrenal glands. It is the precursor hormone for many other steroidal hormones like – Progesterone, Testosterone, Estrogen, cortisol, and many more. These hormones play important roles in maintaining normal body physiology. Under normal physiology the cholesterol in our body is converted into pregnenolone by adrenal glands that in-turn is used for production of other steroid hormones.

What is the reason behind the occurrence of CAH?
The disease occurs due to a genetic mutation in genes that is required for production of steroid hormone. The gene goes from parent to child, but it is not necessary that the parent would have this disease.
