    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Quantifying 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17OH-CS) in urine is crucial for diagnosing adrenal disorders.
    • Traditional methods for 17OH-CS extraction and quantification are often time-consuming and less efficient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new, rapid, and efficient method for the extraction and quantification of total urinary 17OH-CS.
    • To compare the performance of the new method with existing techniques in terms of speed, recovery, and precision.

    Main Methods:

    • Urine samples were hydrolyzed and extracted using an EXTUBE fiber column.
    • Quantification of 17OH-CS was performed using a modified Porter-Silber color reaction.
    • Recovery rates and between-run precision (C.V.%) were evaluated and compared to a previous method.

    Main Results:

    • The new method significantly reduced extraction and quantification time by 50%.
    • Recovery of tetrahydrocortisone improved to 85-95%, compared to 70% with the previous method.
    • Between-run precision was enhanced to 5-7% (C.V.%), a substantial improvement over 10-18%.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EXTUBE fiber column extraction combined with the modified Porter-Silber reaction offers a faster and more accurate approach for urinary 17OH-CS analysis.
    • This new methodology provides comparable diagnostic information to older, more laborious methods.
    • The improved efficiency and precision make this a valuable tool for clinical laboratories.
