A recent study conducted by researchers at the B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Nepal focuses on congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a condition caused by enzymatic defects in the adrenocortical steroidogenesis. The study specifically examines a case of a 10-year-old male child with hypothyroidism who presented with severe hypertension and androgen excess, later diagnosed as congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11b hydroxylase deficiency. The researchers highlight the importance of recognizing this deficiency as the second most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and its potential to cause end-organ damage in children.
