Overview
Symptoms of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include dehydration, vomiting and weight loss, symptoms occur later may include virilization and infertility
History and Symptoms
Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in infants:
In this form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, newborns develop severe symptoms shortly after birth due to loss of salt, such symptoms include:
Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in children and adults:
