ARTICLES RELATED TO Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - What is CAH? | | | |  Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - What is CAH?: Encyclopedia II - Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - What is CAH?Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from defects in steps of the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands. All of the forms of CAH involve excessive or defective production of sex steroids and can pervert or impair development of primary or secondary sex characteristics in affected infants, children, and adults. Many also involve excessive or defective productio ...

| | | | Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - What is CAH?: Encyclopedia II - Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - Clinical manifestations of lipoid CAH Problems caused to persons with lipoid CAH can be divided into (1) mineralocorticoid deficiency, (2) glucocorticoid deficiency, (3) sex steroid deficiency, and (4) damage to gonads caused by lipid accumulation.
Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - Mineralocorticoid deficiency.
Most infants born with lipoid CAH have had genitalia female enough that no disease was suspected at birth. Because the adrenal zona glomerosa is undifferentiated and inactive before delivery, it is undamaged at birth ...

Glucocorticoids can be provided at minimal replacement doses because there is no need for suppression of excessive adrenal androgens or mineralocorticoids. As with other forms of adrenal insufficiency, extra glucocorticoid is needed for stress coverage.
XX females with lipoid CAH may need estrogen replacement at or after puberty. To date, ovulation and pregnancy has not been reported even with early diagnosis and carefu ...

| | | | Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - What is CAH?: Encyclopedia II - Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia - Pathophysiology and genetics of lipoid CAH Our understanding of the molecular basis for this disease has been advanced in the last decade by better understanding of adrenal steroidogenesis as well as genetic studies of affected patients. It used to be assumed that lipoid adrenal hyperplasia resulted from a defect of the enzymes that converted cholesterol to pregnenolone. The conversion reactions are mediated by a single enzyme, formerly referred to as 20,22-desmolase, but now identified as P450scc (side chain cleavage enzyme). However, as of 2003, only a si ...
