title: Partial characterization of unusual polar steroids in the urine of a child with low renin hypertension.
abstract: Analysis of urinary steroids excreted by a 7-year old girl with low renin hypertension following ACTH treatment revealed several unknown steroids, which have been analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It is proposed that these steroids are monohydroxylated derivatives of cortisol, cortisone, either or both tetrahydro and allo-tetrahydrocortisol and either or both tetrahydro and allo-tetrahydro-11-deoxycortisol. Further analysis indicated that there are two likely positions for the additional hydroxyl group, either on the A or B ring.
