Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 11-Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency is a genetic disorder affecting adrenal gland function. It leads to excessive androgen production and insufficient production of cortisol and aldosterone. Symptoms include ambiguous genitalia in females, early puberty in males, and hypertension. Treatment with lifelong hormone replacement therapy is required for managing this condition.
