IMPROVED ESTIMATION OF THE URINARY 17, 21-DIHYDROXY-20-KETO-STEROIDS BY USE OF THE ALLEN CORRECTION IN THE METHOD OF REDDY

Abstract
Application of Allen''s correction equation increased the reliability and reproducibility of the method and reduced the daily variations of the 17-hydroxy-corticoid excretion. Daily values for normal subjects were almost always higher than those reported by Reddy.
