The measurement of 17-ketosteroids in a 24-hr urine specimen is the initial test of choice for the detection of an androgen or estrogen excess.

Urine measurement of excretion of 17-ketosteroids (17-KS) and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS).

In endocrinology the time-honored procedures for 17-ketosteroids and 17-ketogenic steroids were deleted.
