Overview
Medical therapy for classic type of 21-hydroxylase deficiency includes maternal administration of dexamethasone for genetically recognized patients. Hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone is given in children and adults. Treatment for non-classic type of 21 hydroxylase deficiency in children includes hydrocortisone until puberty and in women oral contraceptive pills are given for regulating menstrual cycle. Men with non-classic type of 21 hydroxylase deficiency are asymptomatic and they do not need treatment.
Medical Therapy for classic type of 21 hydroxylase deficiency
Management in neonates
Medical therapy for 21-hydroxylase deficiency in prenatal period, neonates, children and adults, is as below:[1][2][3][4][5]
Prenatal treatment
In the prenatal period virilization of female fetus begins early; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are required as follows:
- If classic CYP21A2 gene mutations exist in parents, maternal administration of dexamethasone should be prescribed
- Preferred regimen: Dexamethasone 20 micrograms/kg/day in 2 or 3 fractioned doses orally
- Dexamethasone crosses the placenta into the fetal circulation and prevents ambiguous genitalia in female fetus
- This treatment should be started before 9 weeks of pregnancy age; if treatment cannot be started by 9 weeks, it should not be given at all
- If in cell-free fetal DNA testing male fetus is detected, treatment should be discontinued
- Approximately 85% of managed cases appear quite normal after delivery
- Side effects of prenatal dexamethasone are:[6][7][8][9][10]
- Postnatal failure to thrive
- Psychomotor developmental delay
- Increased risk of cleft lip and palate
- Increased risk for psychiatric disturbances and ADHD
Neonatal treatment
Medical therapy for 21-hydroxylase deficiency in the neonates is as follows:[4]
- Preferred regimen: Hydrocortisone 20 to 30 mg/m2/day divided in three doses PO AND Fludrocortisone 100 mcg twice daily PO AND sodium chloride one gram or 4 mEq/kg/day divided in several doses PO
- The minimization of steroid doses should be considered to avoid steroid complications in infants
- Growth suppression and shorter height in adulthood are the complications of using high dose steroids which occurs in neonates
Ambiguous genitalia
- Ambiguous genitalia should be managed immediately
- Infants with ambiguous genitalia and non palpable gonads should be considered to have congenital adrenal hyperplasia and empirical treatment should be start early after obtaining blood sample for 17-hydroxyprogesterone
- Initial empiric therapy should contains doses of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid and sodium chloride supplementation
- Preferred regimen: Hydrocortisone is 20 to 30 mg/m2/day divided in three doses PO AND Fludrocortisone 100 mcg twice daily PO AND sodium chloride one gram or 4 mEq/kg/day divided in several doses PO
Adrenal crisis
- Preferred regimen: Normal saline 0.9 percent, 20 mL/kg intravenous bolus AND dextrose 10 percent 2 to 4 mL/kg intravenous bolus (if there is significant hypoglycemia) AND hydrocortisone 50 to 100 mg/m2 intravenous bolus, THEN continue hydrocortisone alone 50 to 100 mg/m2 IV per day divided into four times per 24 hours
- The blood sample should be obtained for steroid hormone levels before giving hydrocortisone
- Hyperkalemia should be corrected on the base of its level and complications
Management in children
- Preferred regimen: Hydrocortisone (cortisol) in a dose of 10 to 15 mg/m2 body surface area/day orally AND fludrocortisone in a dose of 50 to 200 mcg per day (0.05 to 0.20 mg/day) orally
- Mineralocorticoid replacement should be started in all 21-hydroxylase deficient patients, and often may be tapered after six months of age
Response to therapy can be monitored by checking the following parameters:
- Serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone
- Androstenedione
- Plasma renin activity or direct renin
- Height measurements
Management in adults
21 hydroxylase deficiency should be managed as follows:[4][11][12][13][3][14][15]
Treatment goals
- Provide proper dosing of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid
- Decrease secretion of cosyntropin; therefore decrease adrenal overstimulation and androgen production
Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid replacement:
- Preferred regimen: Hydrocortisone 15-30 mg per day divided into three doses PO AND 9-alpha-fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 to 0.2 mg per day PO
- Alternative regimen (1): Dexamethasone 0.75 mg per day PO AND 9-alpha-fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 to 0.2 mg per day PO
- Alternative regimen (2): Prednisone 5mg per day PO AND 9-alpha-fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 to 0.2 mg per day PO
Considerations:
- Glucocorticoids reduce the excess production of adrenal androgens and reduce the excessive secretion of both corticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH
- Stress dosing: In patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency and serious illness, glucocorticoids stress dosing is necessary
- Dexamethasone is very potent and long-acting glucocorticoid that effectively suppresses ACTH secretion but almost always causes the development of cushingoid appearance with chronic use
- The proper dose of fludrocortisone acetate should be used to restore normal serum potassium concentrations and plasma renin activity
Therapy consideration in women
- Lowering blood androgen levels with glucocorticoids, can helps women to control annoying cosmetic symptoms such as acne and hirsutism
- In 21-hydroxylase deficient patients oral contraceptive pills in combination with glucocorticoids can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle and induction of ovulation
Medical Therapy for non-classic type of 21 hydroxylase deficiency
Medical Therapy for non-classic type of 21 hydroxylase deficiency is as following:[16][4][17][18]
Children
- Preferred regimen: Hydrocortisone 10 to 15 mg/m2 divided into three doses per day.
- Treatment should be continued until puberty.
- In symptomatic girls after puberty, other treatment options such as oral contraceptive pills can be used in order to avoid glucocorticoids.
Adults
- Female patients may need oral contraceptive pills in order to regulate menstrual cycle; oral contraceptive pills are preferred other than glucocorticoids in this condition.
- Female patients with infertility and anovulatory cycles who desire conceive, glucocorticoids with above dosage are the initial choice for ovulation induction.
- Male patient with non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency are asymptomatic and they do not need treatment.
