CAH, NCAH 11β-hydroxylase deficiency 2009.11.04 내분비대사내과신지혜
What is CAH? • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Adrenogenital syndrome • Familial disorder of adrenal steroid biosynthesis with autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. • The defect is expressed as adrenal enzyme deficiency. • Prevalence - Classic form CAH 1: 10,000 –1:15,000 live birth
Mineralocorticoid Glucocorticoid Testosterone
Enzyme deficiency • reduction in end-products • accumulation of • hormone precursors • & ACTH production
Clinical feature • Female : Virilization, female pseudohermaphroditism - Clitoris hypertrophy, fused labia, urogenital sinus, hirsuitism, amenorrhea - Infertility : 일찍 (10주 이전) 치료하면 예방가능 • Male : Normal male phenotype, fertility (+) - 생식기의 성숙, 이차성징의 발현이 빠름 - Early growth spurt ( androgen): 초등학교 때 친구들보다 키가 큼 성인에선 키 작다 ( premature closure of epiphyseal plate)
11-β-hydroxylase(CYP11B1) deficiency • Hypertensive variant of CAH • 2nd m/c cause of CAH (5-10%) • Gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 8
Diagnosis • Blood : 전구물질의 증가, alternativepathway products 증가 Serum 11-deoxycortisol & 11-deoxycorticosterone • Late-onset (nonclassic) variants: mild, late-onset forms (adolescents, adult) : 11-deoxycortisol may be normal ACTH stimulation test : elevated post-stimulation values • Urine : 17-KS (ketosteroid) ,tetra hydrometabolites, adrenal androgens (including dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA], dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEA-S], and androstenedione) • DNA analysis : single His R448H mutation is prevalent.
Diagnosis • Strongmineralocorticoid activity of deoxycorticosterone Salt retention Hypertension & plasma volume expansion Hypokalemic alkalosis Plasma renin activity Aldosterone • Imaging Pelvic or testicular ultrasonography Testicular adrenal rest tumors (ectopic adrenal tissue) in males. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning
Treatment • Glucocorticoid replacement Lowest glucocorticoid dose -> supress adrenal androgens & maintain normal growth and weight gain Monitor patients for Inadequate (virilization) & Excess (cushingoid features) steroid treatment • Prednisone (5-7.5mg bid) • If the response to hydrocortisone is poor, Dexamethasone may be used in adults : multiple daily dosing (ideally 0.25-5mg q4-6h) • Antihypertensive therapy : K-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride) with or without CCB (nifedipine)
