Abstract：
:We describe a liquid-chromatographic procedure for simultaneously determining eight steroids in serum. We used a Zorbax ODS column and a mobile phase of methanol/isopropanol/water (44/10/46, by vol), which well resolves the steroids cortisone, cortisol, corticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, androstenedione, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and progesterone, but not 11-deoxycorticosterone and androstenedione. Analytical recoveries of the steroids ranged from 89.27% to 99.58%. CVs were less than 10%. Prednisone and dexamethasone do not interfere. Using this method, we studied the serum steroid profiles of six patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to deficiency of 21-hydroxylase or 17-hydroxylase. Not only could we make a clearcut diagnosis and distinguish the subtle types of CAH, but also we could investigate clinical and biochemical variants of CAH. For example, we confirmed 17-hydroxylase deficiency in a patient who was normotensive with primary amenorrhea and streak gonads.
