Non classical CAH: Non classical CAH is a milder non life threatening form of Congenital Adrenal Hypoplasia. According to the CARES foundation, it is diagnosed by a single blood test, drawn in the morning and looking at adrenal steroid levels (17-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione and testosterone), may be sufficient to make the diagnosis of CAH. An ACTH stimulation test is done to confirm the diagnosis.
