Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia can’t be cured, but it can be treated. People with Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia can take medication to help replace the hormones their bodies are not making. Some people with Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia (those with the mild form) only need these medications when they are sick, while others (those with the severe form) need to take them every day for their entire life. The severe form of CAH can be life threatening without medication.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) General Overview
A. Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia is an inherited disorder. It results when a baby receives a double-dose of a non-working gene for cortisol production (one from each parent). For more information about this, contact your health care provider or a genetic counselor.

Some forms of Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia are more severe and cause Adrenal crisis in the newborn due to salt wasting. In this salt-losing form of Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia, newborns develop severe symptoms shortly after birth, including vomiting, dehydration , electrolyte changes, and cardiac arrhythmias . Untreated, this condition can lead to death within 1 to 6 weeks after birth.

21-hydroxylase-deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia
My 1-month-old grandson was diagnosed with Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia, after an abnormal newborn screening result. We were told his condition is due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and possibly also 17-hydroxyprogesterone. Do you have information on this condition that I could share with my family?

Adrenal Gland Disorders
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia - Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder of Adrenal gland deficiency. In this disorder, the body doesn’t make enough of the hormone cortisol. The bodies of people with Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia may also have other hormone imbalances, such as not making enough aldosterone, but making too much androgen.

Three Drug Combination Therapy versus Conventional Treatment of Children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
To test the hypothesis that the regimen of flutamide (an antiandrogen), testolactone (an inhibitor of androgen-to-estrogen conversion), and reduced hydrocortisone dose can normalize the growth and adult stature of children with Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia, and can avoid the complications of supraphysiologic glucocorticoid dosage, 60 children with this disorder will be randomized to receive either the above regimen or conventional treatment until they have reached age 13 years in a girl or age 14 in a boy. After these ages boys will receive the conventional treatment and girls will receive conventional treatment plus flutamide. In girls, flutamide will be continued until 6 months after menarche. All children will be followed until they have attained final adult height. The principal outcome measures will be adult height, body mass index, and bone density.

21-hydroxylase deficiency - Genetics Home Reference
21-hydroxylase deficiency (also known as Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia) is an inherited disorder that affects the Adrenal glands. These glands are located on top of the kidneys and produce a variety of hormones that regulate many essential functions in the body. Two of these hormones, cortisol and aldosterone, are produced from cholesterol through the activity of an enzyme called 21-hydroxylase. Cortisol has numerous functions such as maintaining blood sugar levels, protecting the body from stress, and suppressing inflammation. Aldosterone, sometimes called the salt-retaining hormone, acts on the kidneys to regulate the levels of salt and water in the body, which affects blood pressure. People with 21-hydroxylase deficiency have a shortage of the 21-hydroxylase enzyme, which impairs the conversion of cholesterol to cortisol and aldosterone. When the precursors of cortisol and aldosterone build up in the Adrenal glands, they are converted to male sex hormones called androgens. Androgens are normally responsible for the appearance of secondary sex characteristics in males (virilization). Elevated levels of androgens can affect the growth and development of both males and females.
