St James’ University Hospital
The fundamental policy of the Centre since 1974 has been to develop, validate and maintain a wide repertoire of steroid assays using in-house extraction with LC-MS/MS end-points.
Our current SAS menu includes:
- 17a -Hydroxyprogesterone (Plasma/Serum)
- Aldosterone (Plasma/Serum)
- Androstenedione (Plasma/Serum)
- Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) (Plasma/Serum)
- 5a -Dihydrotestosterone (Plasma/Serum)
- Oestradiol – optimised for low concentrations (Plasma/Serum) – currently referred
- Plasma Renin Activity
- Urine cortisol
It has always been considered a priority that senior staff are readily available at all times to give interpretative advice and accurate information in response to any enquiries.
