We have evaluated three urine 18-OHF methods using a panel of urine samples from patients with hypertension.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Design<\/jats:italic>: Clinical methods comparative study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Urine samples from patients with primary hyperaldosteronism due to either adenoma (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 6), BAH (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 6), GSH (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 9), or essential hypertension (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 38) were analysed without knowledge of the diagnosis using three different methods in different laboratories. These included \u2018in-house\u2019 radioimmunoassay (RIA), \u2018in-house\u2019 time-resolved fluorometric assay (DELFIA), and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: The three assays showed good correlation, but there were large bias differences: RIA bias was greater than DELFIA which was greater than GC-MS. Discrimination between adenoma and BAH patients was best for the DELFIA method, with no overlap between results for these two groups. All three methods gave significantly elevated results for the GSH group compared with the BAH and essential hypertension groups. No assay distinguished BAH from essential hypertension.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: Measurement of urine 18-OHF may be a useful additional test in the differential diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism. The clinical diagnostic value of urinary 18-OHF measurements is method-dependent with the DELFIA assay having the best discriminatory value.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.1.01922","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,7]],"date-time":"2005-06-07T18:59:02Z","timestamp":1118170742000},"page":"903-907","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The utility of three different methods for measuring urinary 18-hydroxycortisol in the differential diagnosis of suspected primary hyperaldosteronism"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"152","author":[{"given":"R M","family":"Reynolds","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L A","family":"Shakerdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Sandhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A M","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P J","family":"Wood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B R","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"1_17626215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2208","DOI":"10.1210\/en.2003-0279","volume":"144","author":"Young","year":"2003","journal-title":"Endocrinology","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0013-7227","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"9161","key":"2_10796473","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1341","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(98)06102-9","volume":"353","author":"Stewart","year":"1999","journal-title":"Lancet","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0140-6736","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"3_25861512","first-page":"1771","volume":"4","year":"1982","journal-title":"CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL HYPERTENSION (NEW YORK, N.Y. : 1993)"},{"issue":"5","key":"4_8604249","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2218","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(18)34909-3","volume":"257","author":"Chu","year":"1982","journal-title":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0021-9258","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"6","key":"5_13507951","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"849","DOI":"10.1093\/clinchem\/31.6.849","volume":"31","author":"Corrie","year":"1985","journal-title":"Clinical Chemistry","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0009-9147","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"2","key":"6_7844112","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"326","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-46-2-326","volume":"46","author":"WENTING","year":"1978","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Endocrinology &amp;
