Long-term Follow up of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Patients with Hyponatremia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease, which leads to cortisol and aldosterone deficiency and hyperandrogenism. Typical medical treatment includes oral glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid administration to suppress adrenal androgens and to compensate for adrenal steroid deficiencies. However, some patients stopped taking medi...
متن کاملLong term follow up of growth in children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia 21- Hydroxylase deficiency
Obesity and decreased final height are described in children with CAH 21OHD. Of 119 children (50 M, 69F;79 Salt Wasters(SW), 40 Simple Virilizers (SV)) diagnosed over 24 years, various growth parameters were studied in 43 children with regular follow up for 5 years or more. Clinical data, anthropometry, genotype, hormonal and biochemical profile were evaluated at presentation. On follow up, gro...
متن کاملFinal adult height in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia treated with growth hormone.
CONTEXT Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency typically reach a final adult height well below their mid-parental target height. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine whether GH alone or in combination with an LHRH analog (LHRHa) improved the final adult height in patients with CAH. DESIGN The study was a nonrandomized prospective ...
متن کاملLong-term Follow-up of Prenatally Dexamethasone-treated Children at Risk for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disorder of steroid genesis affecting approximately 1:10 000 children and leading to increased levels of androgens during foetal life and subsequent virilization of external genitalia in affected girls. However, prenatal virilization can be eliminated by antenatal dexamethasone (DEX) treatment. To be fully effective, DEX treatment has to be started in t...
متن کاملAdult congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
CONGENITAL adrenal hyperplasia is a rare disease of adults. Probably the oldest recorded case in the literature is of a 57-year-old woman (Logan and McMillan, 1964) who presented as an abdominal emergency. Most of the published reports and standard references are concerned with the biochemical data and there is little suggestion of a characteristic clinical picture. The following case is presen...
