Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency differ in each disease sub-type. 17-hydroxyprogesterone level and cosyntropin stimulation test can be used for diagnosis.

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency differ in each disease sub-type.[1][2]

21-hydroxylase deficiency type 17-hydroxyprogesterone level High dose Cosintropin stimulation test (250 mcg)
Classic salt-wasting
  • Greater than 3500 ng/dL
  • Not necessary
Classic non salt-wasting
  • Greater than 3500 ng/dL
  • Not necessary
Non-classic type
  • Necessary for confirmation

Salt-wasting crises in infancy in classic type

Genetic testing

Genetic testing can detect approximately 95 percent of mutations. Genetic testing should only be done if the laboratory tests are non diagnostic or for purposes of genetic counseling.
