Transient pseudohypoaldosteronism masquerading as congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Glucocorticoid Deficiency Nonclassic Lipoid Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Masquerading as Familial

Nonclassic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia masquerading as familial glucocorticoid deficiency.

CONTEXT Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from resistance to the action of ACTH on the adrenal cortex. Affected individuals are deficient in cortisol and, if untreated, are likely to succumb to hypoglycemia and/or overwhelming infection. Mutations of the ACTH receptor (MC2R) and the melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP), FGD types 1...

Does Pseudohypoaldosteronism Mask the Diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia?

Hyponatremia and hyperpotassemia occurring in the first few weeks of life primarily indicate aldosterone deficiency due to salt-losing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (SL-CAH), while mineralocorticoid deficiency and insensitivity are the main causes of hyponatremia and hyperpotassemia in older infants. Some patients who present with vomiting and poor sucking, who have hyponatremia and hyperpotas...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Schmid Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia in a Child

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of hereditary diseases, which are autosomal recessive. CAH occurs due to defect in one of the cortisol coding genes and often clinically presents itself with signs of androgen overproduction. In this article, we report a case of CAH and Schmid metaphyseal dysplasia. Our literature review indicated that this report is the first attempt on CYP11B1 a...

Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita Presenting as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

We report on a patient with genetically confirmed adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) whose presentation and laboratory abnormalities were consistent with the more common condition, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The patient presented with failure to thrive and salt wasting. General appearance showed marked hyperpigmentation and normal male genitalia. He displayed mildly elevated 17-hydro...
