17-Ketosteroids in leprosy.
Urinary 17-ketosteroids were estimated in 29 lepromatous leprosy cases. Correlation between 17-ketosteroid values, histopathologic findings, and serum G.G.P.T. values is discussed. Low values of 17-ketosteroids were associated with definite leproma to liver indicating the value of liver damage to 17-ketosteroids. This was more marked in males than in females.
