Overview
Common complications of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include short stature, adrenal crisis, infertility, and precocious puberty. The prognosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is generally good with treatment.
Complications
Common complications associated with 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include:[1]
Prognosis
- The prognosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is generally good with treatment.[1]
- A small percentage of children and adults with infancy or childhood onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia die of adrenal crisis, even after diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
- When a person is well, missing a dose or even several doses, may not worsen the immediate symptoms. However, glucocorticoid needs are increased during illness and stress.
- Missed doses during time of illness can lead (within hours) to hypotension, shock, and death.
