What is a NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) Test in Delhi ?
What is NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP)?
This test measures the hormone precursor called 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP). The adrenal glands make 17-OHP as a step toward producing cortisol and sex hormones. It is particularly important for people with diabetes or hypertension , the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease in India, responsible for over 60% of cases requiring dialysis.
What does NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) measure?
It is important because a buildup of 17-OHP can signal an enzyme defect that prevents normal hormone production. The test is widely used in newborn screening to detect congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). CAH can cause salt loss, dehydration, abnormal genital development, or early puberty. Doctors use 17-OHP to identify affected babies quickly, confirm the diagnosis with further tests, start cortisol or salt-replacement treatment if needed, and monitor hormone levels during follow‑up.
What symptoms suggest NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) may be needed?
A doctor may recommend NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) when a patient reports ankle or leg swelling, reduced urine output, frothy or foamy urine, persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, persistent itching, muscle cramps, and high blood pressure. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Karol Bagh, Mayur Vihar, and other parts of Delhi.
How is NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) performed?
GetVisit home collection in Karol Bagh or Mayur Vihar, Delhi: a certified phlebotomist arrives at your address at your chosen slot (available from 6:00 AM), brings all sterile single-use equipment, draws the sample, and dispatches it to the NABL-accredited lab. Your digital report is delivered to your GetVisit profile the same day for most standard blood tests.
How accurate is NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP)?
Every GetVisit sample from Karol Bagh, Mayur Vihar, and across Delhi is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP)?
There is little to worry about. The needle prick lasts a moment and any bruising fades quickly. If you bruise easily or take blood thinners, tell the phlebotomist in Karol Bagh or Mayur Vihar, Delhi so they can apply pressure for longer.
Did you know?
The 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) test measures blood levels of the steroid precursor 17-hydroxyprogesterone.

Why Take a NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) Test in Delhi ?
When does a doctor order NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP)?
NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is commonly included in newborn screening panels. Doctors order it when a baby shows poor feeding, vomiting, dehydration, or ambiguous genitalia, or when there is a family history of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Who should get NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) done in Delhi?
Delhi's extreme summer heat , regularly reaching 45 to 48°C in May and June across Dwarka, Rohini, Uttam Nagar, and Shahdara , creates one of India's most severe seasonal dehydration environments. Combined with variable water quality in many areas of the capital, Delhi records consistently high kidney stone and urinary tract infection rates. Annual kidney function testing is particularly important for all adults above 30 in the city. Kidney testing matters most for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, recurrent kidney stones, or long-term use of painkillers such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. In Delhi, residents of Punjabi Bagh, Rajouri Garden, and areas with variable water quality or high summer heat face added dehydration-related renal stress, making annual checks worthwhile from age 30.
What conditions can NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) help diagnose?
It helps diagnose and monitor CAH and guides hormone replacement therapy. Abnormal results may be due to enzyme defects, stress, prematurity, illness, or steroid use and need confirmation.
What do NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) results mean?
Higher or positive results: Elevated 17‑hydroxyprogesterone suggests impaired cortisol synthesis, most commonly 21‑hydroxylase congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Lower or negative results: 17α‑hydroxylase deficiency (a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia) causes cortisol and sex‑steroid deficiency with excess mineralocorticoids. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) be repeated?
Adults with no risk factors and a normal result: annually from age 30. Diabetics and hypertensives: at least once a year, often every 6 months. Patients with known kidney disease: at the interval set by their nephrologist. Anyone starting a drug cleared by the kidneys: at baseline and periodically thereafter.
What happens after NBS - 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) results are ready?
Once your results appear in your GetVisit profile, discuss them with your doctor or a GetVisit-verified specialist. Your doctor will interpret each value in the context of your full health history, current medications, and symptoms, and advise on the next step: lifestyle change, repeat testing, medication adjustment, or specialist referral. All GetVisit reports are stored permanently and can be shared with any doctor instantly.
