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 کاملDexamethasone treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Ten patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (three males, seven females; aged 12-29 years) had their usual glucocorticoid treatment changed to dexamethasone in three crossover dosage regimens.

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...
