Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

A

Autosomal recessive disorder characterized by partial or total defect of various synthetic enzymes required for cortisol and aldo production in adrenal cortex

186
Q

Most common cause of ambiguous genitalia in genotypically normal females (46XX)

A

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

187
Q

Enzyme responsible for CAH 95% of the time and function

A

21-hydroxylase mutation
Leads to decrease in cortisol and aldosterone production –> increased shunting of precursors to androgens
Cortisol deficiency leads to elevated ACTH = adrenal hyperplasia

188
Q

Classic 21-OH deficiency with salt wasting

A

Inadequate aldosterone resulting in FTT, hyper kalemia, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, acidosis (majority of classic type_

189
Q

Classic 21-OH deficiency without salt wasting

A

Simple virilization with adequate aldosterone
Females: Amenorrhea, precocious puberty, polycystic ovaries, hirsutism
Males: Typically asymptomatic at birth, may have hyperpigmentation, penile enlargement, rapid growth and accelerated skeletal maturation, virilization later in life

190
Q

Non-classic CAH

A

Mild androgen excess, sometimes asymptomatic, virilization present later in life

191
Q

CAH investigation

A

High serum levels of 17-OH progesterone
Newborn screening
Assess plasma ACTH, serum electrolytes, plasma glucose, plasma aldo, plasma renin, blood gas
U/S to look for enlared adrenal gland and presence of uterus

192
Q

CAH treatment

A

Glucocorticoids (ie. hydrocortisone); more in times of stress
Mineralocorticoids (ie. fludrocordisone) as necessary to reduce ACTH levels

193
Q

HPG axis during puberty

A

Pulsatile release of GnRH –> increased release of LH and FSH –> maturation of gonads, release of sex steroids –> secondary sexual characteristics

194
Q

Female puberty

A

Q

Male genital tanner staging

A

1: no hair, prepubertal
2: small amount of long, straight or curled slightly pigmented hair along base of penis. enlargement of testes and scrotum, reddening of scrotal skin
3: darker, coarser, curlier hair distributed sparsely over pubis. lengthening of penis, further enlargement of testes and scrotum
4: adult type hair, no extension to medial thighs. Increasing penile circumference and length, development of glands, further enlargement of testes and scrotum, darkening of scrotal skin

GnRH dependent
hypergonadotropic hypergonadism
Hormone levels as in normal puberty
Premature activation of HPG axis
May be normal, CNS disturbance (tumours, hamartomas, post-meningitis, increased ICP, radiotherapy), NF, primary severe hypothyroidism
If proven central cause, get MRI of brain

Peripheral cause of precocious puberty

A

GnRH independent
Hypogonadotropic hypergonadism
Adrenal d/o (CAH), testicular/oavarian tumour, gonadotropic/hCG secreting tumour (ie. hepatoblastoma, intracranial teratoma, germinoma), exogenous steroid administration, McCune-Albright syndrome, primary severe hypothyroidism
