The ACTH test is important when hirsutism occurs in women with a slight 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and normal basal 17-OH Progesterone (17-OH-P/plasma levels). Extensive hormonal assays: LH, FSH, Prolactin, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), Estrone, 17OH-P, Androstenedione, Testosterone, Cortisol (C), Dehydroepiandrosterone-S (DEA-S) were carried out in 36 hirsute women. 13 of these presented hormone levels as found in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), 6 women presented a slight 21-hydroxylase deficiency (increased plasma 17-OH-P and decreased C after ACTH test with significant, p less than 0.01, increase of 17-OH-P/C and 17 women presented idiopathic hirsutism (IH). The hormonal pattern, in the basal condition, is not different in IH or in slight 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The ACTH test is able to differentiate between IH and adrenal hirsutism.
当患有轻度21-羟化酶缺乏且基础17-羟孕酮(17-OH-P/血浆水平)正常的女性出现多毛症时,促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)试验很重要。对36名多毛女性进行了广泛的激素检测:促黄体生成素(LH)、促卵泡生成素(FSH)、催乳素、17β-雌二醇(E2)、雌酮、17-OH-P、雄烯二酮、睾酮、皮质醇(C)、硫酸脱氢表雄酮(DEA-S)。其中13名患者的激素水平符合多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)的表现,6名女性存在轻度21-羟化酶缺乏(ACTH试验后血浆17-OH-P升高,C降低,17-OH-P/C显著升高,p<0.01),17名女性表现为特发性多毛症(IH)。在基础状态下,IH或轻度21-羟化酶缺乏患者的激素模式并无差异。ACTH试验能够区分IH和肾上腺性多毛症。
