Congenital Adrenal Gland Hypoplasia
X-linked Congenital Adrenal Hypoplasia

Presentation

It presents at puberty because of reduced adrenal androgen production ( hypogonadism ). Females with 17-hydroxylase deficiency present with delayed puberty : they do not menstruate, and breasts and pubic hair fail to develop. [dermnetnz.org]

[…] with hypertension Clinical presentation in males Males with 21-hydroxylase deficiency have normal genitalia If the defect is severe and results in salt wasting, these male neonates present at age 1-4 weeks with failure to thrive, recurrent vomiting, [emedicine.medscape.com]

( Arch Pathol Lab Med 2000;124:785 ), and rarely with similar ovarian tumors ( Am J Surg Pathol 2001;25:1443 ) Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia: very rare, low cortisol and aldosterone secretion, high levels of ACTH, FSH, LH and plasma rennin; present [pathologyoutlines.com]

In nonclassic CAH forms, patients present with hyperandrogenism in later childhood or early adulthood. They also present with infertility, hirsutism, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea with polycystic ovaries, and acne. [clinicaladvisor.com]

    The symptoms are faintness, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. An adrenal crisis can be triggered by a stressful illness such as severe flu or gastro- enteritis. An injection of hydrocortisone should be given immediately. [endocrineonline.org]

    Their strong tendency to lose excessive amounts of salt in the urine, if uncontrolled, can cause acute dehydration, very low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

Workup

[…] genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of adrenal hyperplasia Newborn screening programs for 21-hydroxylase deficiency may be lifesaving in an affected male infant who would otherwise be undetected until presentation with a salt-wasting crisis [5] See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment

Ongoing monitoring Treatment of CAH can be challenging. Excessive treatment with glucocorticoids can lead to stunted growth, excessive weight gain and other long-term problems such as osteoporosis. [chop.edu]

They may need treatment through a drip to replace fluid, salt and glucose. They will need long-term glucocorticoid treatment. What surgical treatment is available? Surgery is sometimes offered when a baby girl has unusual genitalia. [patient.info]

Treatment General treatment and follow-up Follow-up of the patients is focused on hormonal as well as psychological factors at all life stages. In newborns, key issues relate to diagnostics, sex determination and avoiding adrenal crises. [tidsskriftet.no]

With good treatment, girls and women with CAH can have regular menstrual cycles and have children. With good treatment, people with CAH should be healthy and have a normal life span. Treatment is life-long. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

Treatment Mild congenital adrenal hyperplasia may not require treatment. More severe disease is usually treated with glucocorticoids. Hydrocortisone is usually the treatment of choice, because of its short duration of action. [ourmed.org]

Epidemiology

Epidemiology Race Congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs among people of all races. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia secondary to CYP21A1 mutations and deletions is particularly common among the Yupik Eskimos. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology and genetics Based on neonatal screening, the global prevalence of classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia is approximately 1/15 000, but there is wide variation between population groups ( 1 ). [tidsskriftet.no]

"in ways so slipshod as to breach professional standards of medical ethics" [17] and "there were no data on long-term follow-up of physical and metabolic outcomes in children exposed to dexamethasone". [18] Epidemiology [ edit ] The incidence varies geographically [en.wikipedia.org]

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which also dates to the first half of the century, has become the preferred term to reduce ambiguity and to emphasize the underlying pathophysiology of the disorders. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention

Consequently, the clinical consequences of CAHs arise from an insufficiency of certain corticosteroids and excesses of others. 21-hydroxylase Deficiency Biochemistry Defects of 21-hydroxylase prevent synthesis of aldosterone and cortisol. [pathwaymedicine.org]

The aim is to prevent neonatal death, determine the sex and prevent precocious puberty. Since neonatal screening was introduced in Sweden, more children have been diagnosed with the salt-wasting form of the condition, and more have survived ( 2 ). [tidsskriftet.no]
