Overview
Symptoms of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include dehydration, vomiting, and weight loss. Late symptoms include virilization and infertility.
History and Symptoms
Symptoms of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include:
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, which include:
Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in children
- Ambiguous genitalia or virilizing genitalia in girls (often appearing more male than female: deep voice, early appearance of pubic and armpit hair, and excessive hair growth and facial hair)
- Early appearance of masculinization characteristics in boys (deep voice, early appearance of pubic and armpit hair, enlarged penis, small testes, and well-developed muscles)
Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in adults
Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in children and adults may include:
