How Can CAH be Managed and Monitored Over Time?

Management of CAH involves a multidisciplinary approach including pediatric endocrinologists, genetic counselors, and sometimes surgeons. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to:
- Monitor growth and development.
- Adjust medication doses as the child grows.
- Screen for potential complications such as hypertension and bone density issues.
Parents and caregivers should be educated about the signs of adrenal crisis and how to manage them. They should also be aware of the importance of medication adherence and regular medical follow-ups.
