| 17-ketogenic steroid assay test | A colourimetric test, based on the Zimmermann reaction, which indicates metabolites or adrenal and testicular steroids excreted as 17-ketones in the urine; increased values are most striking in adrenocortical tumours, decreased values in Addison's disease or in panhypopituitarism. Synonym: ketogenic corticoids test. (05 Mar 2000) |
