| Popis: | • Infants born with ambiguous genitalia or nonpalpable testes need to be evaluated for congenital adrenal hyperplasia as it can be life threatening. • Adrenal steroid levels vary with gestational age. • Adrenal insufficiency should be treated with hydrocortisone to avoid adrenal crisis. High doses of hydrocortisone contain mineralocorticoid activity. |
