Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited medical conditions in which the adrenal glands do not function properly. There are several forms of CAH, all caused by different enzyme deficiencies, which cause insufficient production of cortisol (stress hormone) along with the underproduction or overproduction of various other hormones. Patients may not produce enough aldosterone (salt-retaining hormone) and may produce high levels of androgens (such as testosterone).
