    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids is crucial for diagnosing adrenal disorders.
    • Current methods often involve lengthy procedures including enzymatic hydrolysis and solvent extractions, leading to time delays and potential inaccuracies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simplified, rapid, and reliable method for quantifying urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids.
    • To improve the specificity and sensitivity of steroid analysis, enabling accurate results even at low concentrations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Amberlite XAD-2, a neutral non-ionic cross-linked polystyrene resin, for the extraction and concentration of urinary steroids.
    • Employed the Porter-Silber reaction for quantitative determination of the extracted steroids.
