===Newborn screening===
According to Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, [[Screening (medicine)|screening]] for 21-hydroxylase deficiency by measuring [[17-hydroxyprogesterone]] is recommended for all [[newborns]].
Conditions justifying [[newborn screening]] for any disorder include (1) a simple test with an acceptable [[Sensitivity (tests)|sensitivity]] and [[Specificity (tests)|specificity]], (2) a dire consequence if not diagnosed early, (3) an effective treatment if diagnosed, and (4) a frequency in the population high enough to justify the expense. In the last decade more states and countries are adopting newborn screening for salt-wasting CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which leads to death in the first month of life if not recognized.
*Blood sample on [[filter paper]] should be obtained via heel-prick, preferably between two and four days after birth.
 
*[[Screening (medicine)|Screening]] programs should be done using a two-step protocol (initial [[immunoassay]] with further evaluation of positive tests by [[Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry|liquid chromatography]] or tandem [[mass spectrometry]]).
The salt-wasting form of CAH has an incidence of 1 in 15,000 births, is potentially fatal within a month if untreated, and steroid replacement is a simple, effective treatment. However, the screening test itself is less than perfect. While the [[17-hydroxyprogesterone|17OHP]] level is easy to measure and sensitive (rarely missing real cases), the test has a poorer specificity. Screening programs in the United States have reported that 99% of positive screens turn out to be false positives upon investigation of the infant. This is a higher rate of false positives than the screening tests for many other [[congenital metabolic disease]]s. While each screen costs less than US$2, the program costs well over US$100,000 for each case detected.
*Most affected [[neonates]] have [[17-Hydroxyprogesterone|17-hydroxyprogesterone]] concentrations greater than 3500 ng/dL (normal level =105 nmol/L).<ref name="pmid2208708">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gonzalez RR, Mäentausta O, Solyom J, Vihko R |title=Direct solid-phase time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone in serum and dried blood spots on filter paper |journal=Clin.

When a positive result is detected, the infant's family and doctor must be notified, and the infant must be referred to a pediatric endocrinologist to confirm or disprove the diagnosis. Since most infants with salt-wasting CAH become critically ill by 2 weeks of age, the evaluation must be done rapidly despite the high false positive rate.

Overview

According to Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, screening for 21-hydroxylase deficiency should be done by measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone and is recommended for all newborns. The Endocrine Society's Clinical Practice Guideline recommends that genetic counseling should be provided for individuals who have a postive family history of 21-hydroxylase deficiency and are planning to conceive.

Screening

Genetic counseling

The Endocrine Society's Clinical Practice Guideline recommends that genetic counseling be provided for individuals who are planning to conceive, and there is a family history of 21-hydroxylase deficiency.[2]
