Abstrakt:	Congenital adrenal hyperplasia associated to 11‐beta‐hydroxylase deficiency is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, usually discovered during childhood; however, a late diagnosis in adults has also been reported. Despite low cortisol levels, accumulated adrenal steroid precursors can activate the glucocorticoid receptor and thus protect the patient against adrenal crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
