Overview

21-hydroxylase deficiency must be differentiated from 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 17-α hydroxylase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome, 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, cushing syndrome, and adrenal tumor.

Differentiating congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency from other diseases

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency classic type must be differentiated from diseases that cause ambiguous genitalia:[1][2]

Disease name Laboratory tests Important clinical findings
Increased Decreased
Classic type of 21-hydroxylase deficiency
11-β hydroxylase deficiency
17-α hydroxylase deficiency
3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase
Gestational hyperandrogenism

21-hydroxylase deficiency Non-classic type must be differentiated from diseases that cause virilization and hirsutism in female:[3][2][4]

Disease name Steroid status Other laboratory Important clinical findings
Non-classic type of 21-hydroxylase deficiency Increased:
  • No symptoms in infancy and male
11-β hydroxylase deficiency Increased:

Decreased:

3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency Increased:

Decreased:

Polycystic ovary syndrome
Adrenal tumors
  • Variable levels depends on tumor type
  • Older age
  • Rapidly progressive symptoms
Ovarian virilizing tumor
  • Variable levels depends on tumor type
  • Older age
  • Rapidly progressive symptoms
Cushing's syndrome
Hyperprolactinemia
