Birthweight in congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia.
The deficiency of C-21-hydroxylation in adrenocorticosteroid synthesis is the commonest cause of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia (CVAH). Abnormal secretory activity in CVAH begins about the third month of gestation before the differentiation of external genitalia (Bierich, 1963). The masculinization of the female external genitalia noted at birth in almost all cases is thought to resu...

متن کاملUrinary steroids in fifteen cases of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia.
Since it was shown by Wilkins et al. (1950) that high output of urinary 17-ketosteroids in cases of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia was suppressed by administration of glucocorticoids, the syndrome has been considered to be due to a deficiency in the enzymatic processes necessary for biosynthesis of cortisol. The most common type of the cases shows disturbances in changing 17ƒ¿hydroxy...
متن کاملLow-Dose Dexamethasone Therapy from Infancy of Virilizing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Objective. To assess the growth and control of adrenal androgen secretion in children with virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) treated with dexamethasone. Method. We examined doses used, control of adrenal androgen secretion, and growth and skeletal maturation of 8 children with CAH treated with dexamethasone beginning in infancy. Results. 3 boys and 5 girls with classical CAH (17-h...
متن کاملAldosterone Excretion in Virilizing Adrenal
Sodium depletion with concomitant dehydration occurs as a complicating factor in approximately one-third of patients with virilizing adrenal hyperplasia (1). A number of writers have discussed certain differences between the electrolyte disturbance occurring in this syndrome and that of Addison's disease (2-5) and several hypotheses have been offered to explain the sodium loss and potassium ret...
