The pathogenesis of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is characterized by impaired pathway biosynthesis of progestins, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens (therefore estrogen. As a result of [[cortisol]] absence, [[corticotropin]] ([[ACTH]]) secretion increases leads to produce 3-hydroxy-delta-5-steroids pregnenolone, 17-hydroxypregnenolone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also their sulfates.<ref name="pmid13968789">{{cite journal |vauthors=BONGIOVANNI AM |title=The adrenogenital syndrome with deficiency of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase |journal=J.

There are two types of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency: the salt-wasting, and non-salt-wasting type.

Common risk factors in the development of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is family history of this disease.

Diagnosis

Symptoms

Symptoms of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency may include symptoms of both cortisol and aldosterone deficiency such as feeding difficulties, vomiting, volume depletion, muscle weakness; undervirilization in newborn males, and mild virilization and clitoromegaly in newborn female. [3]

Physical Examination

Physical examination may be remarkable for: undervirilization in newborn males and mild virilization and clitoromegaly in newborn female.

Laboratory Findings

Diagnosis for 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is based on delta-5-17-hydroxypregnenolone high levels. [4] Other laboratory findings include: hyponatremia, hyperkalemia.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

The mainstay of therapy for 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency is hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone acetate. Gender-appropriate replacement of androgens or estrogens with progestins is necessary at the puberty time.

Surgery

The reconstruction surgery for ambiguous genitalia in genetically male patients may be applied.
