    Abstract Hyperandrogenism in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) results from overstimulation of adrenocorticotropic-driven androgen production in the adrenal cortex due to lack of cortisol feedback. The classical form is characterized by more-severe symptoms of hyperandrogenism, including virilization of the female genitalia. The milder nonclassical form presents with postnatal symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Presenting symptoms in adulthood may include acne, male-pattern alopecia, hirsutism, irregular menses/amenorrhea or infertility. The goal of therapy in CAH is to both correct the deficiency in cortisol secretion and suppress androgen overproduction. Glucocorticoid replacement has been the mainstay of treatment for CAH but new treatment strategies continue to be developed and studied.

    Abstract Background: Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are at risk for adrenal crises in the perioperative period and require higher doses of glucocorticoids. However, there are no specific protocols detailing the appropriate stress dosing required for children with CAH undergoing surgery with anesthesia.
    Objective: To evaluate CAH patients using our current hydrocortisone stress dose surgical protocol. We hypothesized that current clinical protocols may overestimate the endogenous response to perioperative stress.
    Study design: 14 children with CAH scheduled to have genital surgery and a control group of 10 unaffected children scheduled to have cardiac or urologic surgery (of a similar duration) were evaluated in a prospective observational study. Urinary free cortisol (UFC) and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) per body surface area were measured in the postoperative period.
    Results: UFC levels were significantly higher in CAH patients (115.8 ± 24.6 nmol/m
    Conclusion: In the immediate postoperative period, urinary cortisol and its metabolites are significantly higher in pediatric CAH patients receiving stress dose corticosteroids compared to controls. Results suggest that the amount of hydrocortisone given during our stress dose protocol may be higher than physiologic needs. Future dynamic studies are needed to determine appropriate perioperative and postoperative cortisol requirements in pediatric CAH patients in order to develop optimal stress dose regimens.

    Abstract Background: Antiepileptics may affect cortisol metabolism through CYP3A4. There is little known about ethosuximide.
    Clinical case: Our patient is a 12-year-old girl with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) owing to 21 hydroxylase deficiency. A standard treatment regimen was initiated with satisfactory results until the age of 6 years, when she developed absence seizures treated with ethosuximide. She received such therapy until the age of 12 years, at which point ethosuximide was discontinued. During ethosuximide administration, she experienced worsening control of CAH disease activity that responded to progressive increases in hydrocortisone dose up to 28 mg/m2 per day. Despite high doses of hydrocortisone, she suffered no cushingoid symptoms. Her requirements for high glucocorticoid replacement doses resolved shortly after ethosuximide was discontinued. We provide data over 6 years demonstrating a correlation between adrenal hormone secretion, cortisol requirements and ethosuximide dose.
    Conclusion: This is the first case demonstrating an interaction between ethosuximide and hydrocortisone clearance in the treatment of salt-wasting CAH.

    Abstract 21-Hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an inherited disorder of steroidogenesis. In its severe form, CAH causes genital ambiguity in females. Molecular genetic analysis of fetal DNA obtained by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling is used to diagnose steroid 21-OHD deficiency in utero. Large ongoing studies show that appropriate prenatal treatment of pregnant mothers with dexamethasone is effective and safe for both the fetus and the mother. It reduces ambiguous genitalia in the female affected fetus and thus avoids unnecessary genitoplasty in the newborn female.

    Abstract Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) applies to a group of inherited disorders caused by an enzyme deficiency in steroid biosynthesis. The most common form of CAH is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), which in its severe form can cause genital ambiguity in females. Affected females experience virilization both physically and psychologically. Steroid 21-OHD can be diagnosed in utero through molecular genetic analysis of fetal DNA. Appropriate prenatal treatment by dexamethasone administration to the at-risk pregnant mother is effective in reducing genital virilization in the fetus, thus avoiding unnecessary genitoplasty in affected females. Current data from large human studies show that prenatal diagnosis and treatment are safe in the short term for both the fetus and the mother. Preliminary data from long-term studies support these results.

    Abstract Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency is a genetic disorder of steroidogenesis, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. It is associated with low renin hypertension, hypokalemia, hyperandrogenemia and genital ambiguity in affected females. Mutations in the CYP11B1 gene, causing 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency in the zona fasciculata in the adrenal cortex, have been identified. The indicators of congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency, include increased serum concentrations of desoxycorticosterone, 11 deoxycortisol and delta4-androstenedione, and suppressed plasma renin concentrations. The disorder is treated by administration of glucocorticoids.

    Abstract Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of inherited disorders caused by an enzyme deficiency in steroid biosynthesis. The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which in its severe form can cause genital ambiguity in females. Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency can be diagnosed in utero through molecular genetic analysis of fetal DNA. Prenatal treatment successfully reduces genital ambiguity, and the subsequent problems of sex misassignment and gender confusion. Data from current studies show that prenatal diagnosis and treatment are safe for the mother and the fetus. The evidence also suggests that it is safe over the long term, but all subjects exposed to dexamethasone treatment during embryonic and fetal life should have their physical, cognitive and emotional developments recorded.

    Abstract Steroid 21 hydroxylase deficiency is the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The severity of this disorder depends on the extent of impaired enzymatic activity, which is caused by various mutations of the 21 hydroxylase gene. This article reviews adrenal steroidogenesis and the pathophysiology of 21 hydroxylase deficiency. The three forms of CAH are then discussed in terms of clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment, and genetic basis. Prenatal diagnosis and treatment are also reviewed. The goal of therapy is to correct the deficiency in cortisol secretion and suppress androgen overproduction. Glucocorticoid replacement has been the mainstay of treatment for CAH, but new treatment strategies continue to be developed and studied.
