Early growth, pubertal development, body mass index and final height of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia: factors influencing the outcome

Abstract: Under our conditions of management, the final height of patients with the salt-wasting form was comparable to the target height and to the most favourable literature data. The patients with the simple virilizing form fare less well, mainly due to delayed diagnosis and consequent advancement of bone age and early puberty. In salt-wasting patients, height at 2 years is comparable to normals, it is influenced by the hydrocortisone dose and is related to the final height. Some height is lost during puberty. Hence,… Show more

“…Similar to Manoli and cols. who showed a positive correlation of FHZ and height at 2 years of age in salt-losing patients (21), the present study corroborates that height loss occurs mainly within the first two years of life. In addition, some reports showed that FH was greater in patients with early treatment, up to 20 months (24) and before 3 years of CA (20), although these data are controversial among the authors (3,23).…”

“…Studies evaluating GC effect during childhood evidenced a negative influence of the daily dose of GC upon growth velocity and FH in children up to one or two years of CA and in prepubertal children (11,(20)(21)(22)(23). Similar to Manoli and cols.…”

“…Não somente a supressão inade- quada, mas também, o excesso de glicocorticóides interfere sobre o crescimento, prejudicando a altura final além da possibilidade de redução da massa óssea (18,19). Especialmente nos primeiros 2 anos de vida e durante o estirão puberal, quando a VC é maior, as crianças estão mais sujeitas a esse prejuízo, com perda definitiva do seu potencial de crescimento (13,18,(20)(21)(22). E é justamente nesses períodos que as crianças com freqüência recebem doses mais altas dos glicocorticóides (23).…”

“…Por outro lado, o diagnóstico tardio com avanço significativo da IO é um fator freqüentemente relacionado ao comprometimento da estatura final (18,23). O grupo de crianças que já apresentava IO> 2 anos em relação à IC no início do estudo apresentou ganho em altura de 34cm para um avanço de IO de 0,98/ano num período médio de 5,5 anos.…”
