Abstract

The authors review some current ideas concerning the role of 18-hydroxylated corticosteroids as mineralocorticoids themselves and as possible precursors of the principal mineralocorticoid, aldosterone. In particular, the physiological and pharmacological agents affecting their secretion are discussed together with a description of the methods used for their analysis in plasma in the department of Clinical Biochemistry Pitié-Salpétrière. Finally, the value of these assays in the differential diagnosis of mineralocorticoid hypertension and inborn errors of corticosteroid biosynthesis is assessed and the constraints on sampling technique listed.
