After reviewing the literature, it seems as though CAH kids often end up shorter and be somewhat heavier than their height might indicate. I understand that the NIH study is looking at a different cocktail of drugs. The point being to sop up the extra androgens, assuming the cortisone is dropped to more normal physiologic levels (8-12 mg/m2). Apparently, this reduction in cortisone helps the kids grow more normally. Does anyone know if there is potential for this strategy to help with the weight gain issue as well?
