Late consequences of long-term glucocorticoid therapy in patients with congenital adrenal cortical dysfunction

https://doi.org/10.14341/probl201056515-22

Abstract

Novel information concerning the management of adult patients with congenital adrenal cortical dysfunction is presented. New methods for the treatment of this pathology are described along with evaluation of its outcomes. Late consequences of long-term glucocorticoid therapy of congenital adrenal cortical dysfunction are considered.
