Thank in advance for your input.  My husband and I are currently waiting diagnosis for our 2 boys (4 months and 2 years)-  we almost lost the 4 month old when he was 5 weeks old-  his sodium levels were at 98!!!!  At the hospital he was diagnosised with an aldostorone deif. only.  Due to my older sons failure to thrive for unknown reasons (he had every GI test known to man) they decided to run a number of tests on him.  From his stimulation test they determined that the older child has an adrenal insufficiency but it is unlikely that the cause is CAH- they are looking at a DAX-1 mutation (adrenal hypoplasia). 

Well, I guess to cut my self short, my four month’s old 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone was 39 ng/dl which the doc’s said was in the normal range which would "rule out" CAH.  Does anyone know what the "normal" range is for this?  What would you expect to see in an individual with CAH? 

Sorry to be so long winded, but I truely appricated any input that anyone can provide.  I am just trying to make sense of all the info the doc’s have thrown at me!
