Hi Julia,

Please provide units for the numbers (ex: 17-OHP is often in ng/dl but sometimes in nmols/L).  Different labs give results using different units, so it can be like comparing apples and oranges.  You should be able to find the units on the lab report. 

Our endo considers a 17-OHP under 100 ng/dl to be a bit oversuppressed.  I would love to hear what other doctors consider a good range.  Our plasma renin results are in ng/ml/hour.
