Normal Hormone Levels (not CAH):
Average number is given in bold. The normal range of levels is in (parentheses).
Hormone Prepubertal Mid-Pubertal

Pubertal and adult

Blood testing   
ACTH (pg/ml) 30 (10-60)30 (10-60)30 (10-60)
Androstenedione(ng/dl)25 (8-50)70 (50-100)115 (70-200)
17 OHP (ng/dl)40 (3-100) 80 (10-150)100 (25-250)
Testosterone (ng/dl)5 (3-10)  
 
Males:
150 (100-300)600 (300-1000)
 
Female:
 25 (15-35)  30 (10-55)

Urine testing
17 Ketosteroids (mg/24 hr) 1.5 (0.2- 3) Males 5 (3-10) 15 (10-25)
Female 3.5 (2.5-8) 10 (6-14)
Pregnanetriol (mg/24 hr) 0.5 1.0 2.0

-In CAH, levels of androstenedione, testosterone and 17 ketosteroids that are normal or modestly (about 25%) above normal are acceptable. Because blood 17 OHP levels can vary widely in CAH, higher 17 OHP levels are acceptable, but are usually less than 1000 ng/dl with adequate treatment.
-To convert ng/dl units to pmol/L, multiply androstenedione levels by 34, 17 OHP by 30, testosterone by 34.
