5-HIAA
Normal Values
The normal range is 3 to 15 mg/24 hr
Note: mg/24 hr = milligrams per 24-hours
17-OH progesterone
Normal Values
male: 3 to 32 ng/dL
female:
- day 1 to 14 of menstrual cycle: 15 to 70 ng/dL
- day 15 to end of menstrual cycle: 35 to 290 ng/dL
17-hydroxycorticosteroids
Normal Values
Normal values are as follows:
- male: 4 to 14 mg/24 hr
- female: 2 to 12 mg/24 hr
Note: mg/24 hr = milligrams per 24 hours
17-ketosteroids
Normal Values Normal values are as follows:
- male: 8 to 20 mg/24 hr
- female: 6 to 12 mg/24 hr
Note: mg/24 hr = milligrams per 24-hours
24 hours urinary aldosterone excretion rate
Normal Values
Normal values range from 6 to 25 mcg/24 hours. (This depends on the amount of sodium excreted by the body. The greater the amount of sodium, the lower the level of aldosterone.)
Note: mcg/24 hr = micrograms per 24 hours
25-hydroxy vitamin D
Normal Values
The normal range is 16.0 to 74.0 ng/ml.
Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter
ACTH
Normal Values
Values 9 to 52 pg/ml are normal.
Note: pg/ml = picograms per milliliter
ACTH (Cortrosyn) stimulation test
Normal Values
An increase in cortisol after stimulation by ACTH is normal. Post stimulation blood cortisol should be greater than 20 mcg/dl.
Note: mcg/dl = micrograms per deciliter
Dexamethasone suppression test
Normal Values
Low Dose:
Overnight: 8 a.m. plasma cortisol< 5 mcg/dl
Standard: Urinary free cortisol on day 3 < 10 mcg/day
High Dose:
Overnight: > 50 % reduction in plasma cortisol
Standard: > 90% reduction in urinary free cortisol.
ADH
Normal Values
Values of 0 to 4.7 pg/mL are normal.
Note: pg/ml = picograms per milliliter
Aldosterone
Normal Values
supine: 2 to 16 ng/dl
upright: 5 to 41 ng/dl
Note: ng/dl = nanograms per deciliter
Calcitonin
Normal Values
less than 70 pg/ml
Note: pg/ml = picograms per milliliter
Catecholamines blood
Catecholamines blood
Catecholamines urine
Normal Values
- VMA: 2 to 7 mg/24-hours
- epinephrine: 0.5 to 20 mcg/24-hours
- norepinephrine: 15 to 80 mcg/24-hours
- dopamine: 65 to 400 mcg/24-hours
- metanephrine: 24 to 96 mcg/24-hours (some laboratories give the range as 140 to 785 mcg/24-hours)
- normetanephrine: 75 to 375 mcg/24-hours
- total urine catecholamines: 14 to 110 mcg/24-hours
Note: mg/hour = milligrams per hour; mcg/hour = micrograms per hour
Cortisol level
Normal Values
8 A.M.: 6 to 23 mcg/dl
Note: mcg/dl = micrograms per deciliter
Cortisol - urine
Normal Values
The normal range is 10 to 100 mcg/24 h.
Note: mcg/24 h = micrograms per 24-hours
