Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Congenital adrenal hyperplasia:
In the absence of 21-hydroxylase, affected individuals are unable to make cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal gland responds by trying to increase production of all its hormones. The number of cells increases, a phenomenon called adrenal hyperplasia. Other hormones such as androgens are pathologically overproduced.
