Pregnanetriol, or5β-pregnane-3α,17α,20α-triol, is asteroid and inactivemetabolite ofprogesterone.
Urine excretion of pregnanetriol can be measured over a period of 24 hours. Elevated urine pregnanetriol levels suggestadrenogenital syndrome. In monitoring treatment withcortisol replacement, elevated urine pregnanetriol levels indicate insufficient dosage of cortisol.[1][unreliable medical source?]
