Endocrinologists may face challenges when encountering CAH in patients since it is relatively uncommon disorder. Using case studies to follow a patient across their lifespan, this KTA aims to address challenges in effectively transitioning adolescent CAH patients into adult care, managing the long-term complexities of the condition, and interpreting evolving and nuanced biochemical markers crucial for the effective management of CAH.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Contrast the key management priorities between pediatric and adult patients with CAH, emphasizing clinical differences.
  • Outline a structured approach for transitioning adolescents with CAH to adult care, addressing common challenges in care continuity and patient needs.
  • Identify and manage long-term disease morbidities, such as cardiovascular and metabolic risks, in CAH patients.
  • Explore emerging therapeutic strategies and novel treatment modalities in the management of CAH.

FACULTY:

  • Richard Auchus, MD, PhD, University of Michigan (Speaker)
  • Mimi Kim, MD, MSc, University of Southern California (Speaker)
