Description
Tian Lan and co-authors test whether a newer hormone measure adds value in tracking a childhood gland disorder, in a 2026 study. Children with the disorder make too much of certain adrenal hormones. Care must curb that excess without giving too much steroid in its place.
The standard marker is a hormone called androstenedione in full once here. The team ask whether a related marker, 11-ketotestosterone, tells doctors more. They find the newer marker tracks overall control of the disease. Yet it adds little beyond the standard one. Their verdict helps labs decide whether the extra test earns its cost in routine care of these children.
