Overview
The mainstay of therapy for 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is glucocorticoid therapy. Spironolactone and estrogen may also be used.
Medical Therapy
The goal of therapy is: [1][2][3]
- Correct the effects of mineralocorticoid excess
- Prevent glucocorticoid deficiency
- Restore desired secondary sexual characteristics
- Treatment for 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is by the use of glucocorticoids such as:
- Preferred regimen (1): Hydrocortisone 10 to 25 mg/m2 body surface area/day PO.
- Preferred regimen (2): Prednisolone 0.1 mg/kg/day PO.
- Preferred regimen (3): Dexamethasone up to 0.5 mg/day PO.
- As all the patients are clinically female, spironolactone is the drug of choice to block the mineralocorticoid receptor:
- Preferred regimen (1): Spironolactone 25 to 200 mg/day PO.
- Treatment should be monitored by:
- At the time of expected puberty, estrogen replacement should be started.
