My kid 17yrafter acth stimulation, after 1hr 8min, 17 oh progesterone-2.56 ng/ml, has acne, hirsutism, spotting before period, if it is locah, what treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Adrenal hyperplasia: Normal levels of 17 hydroxy Progesterone are 2 to 9 mg/ ml in a stimulated state they can be upto 20 times that to consider a diagnosis of locah in your child there is a suggestion of hyper androgen state but not due to locah.
