  • Title: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
    Author: Nermoen I, Husebye ES, Myhre AG, Løvås K.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 2017 Apr; 137(7):540-543. PubMed ID: 28383228.
    Abstract:
    Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is attributed to inherited enzyme defects in the adrenal cortex. The classical form results in reduced production of cortisol and aldosterone, accompanied by an increase in production of adrenal cortical androgens. This causes virilisation in girls, adrenocortical failure and early puberty in both sexes. This article describes the genetics, clinical picture, diagnostics and treatment.
