Alterations of adrenal steroidomic profiles in preterm infants at birth.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Preterm infants have relative adrenal and kidney immaturity. Recently, we linked their urine sodium loss to a hypoaldosteronism at variance with an appropriate stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system. To investigate this defective aldosterone secretion, we analyse the biosynthesis

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia causing hypertension: an illustrative review.

Only registered users can translate articles

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is often considered a pediatric endocrinology condition, but we present two cases of young adults who presented with hypertension. An 18-year-old woman was found to have hypertension and hypokalemia when she presented for gonadectomy for 46, XY gonadal
