Pediatric reference ranges
04/09/2009
Pediatric reference ranges for aldosterone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 using tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) have been established in a paper by Dr. Steven J. Soldin, Clinical Director of Endocrinology at NMS Labs, that appears in the Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. This is the first study ever to provide pediatric reference intervals of steroid hormones for children from birth to age 18 using LC-MS/MS.
