Summary
Renal salt wasting in 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11-beta-OHD) is questionable. This report details an infant misdiagnosed with this condition, highlighting the need for further research to confirm its existence.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Pediatric Nephrology
Background:
- 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11-beta-OHD) is a rare congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
- Renal salt wasting has been anecdotally associated with 11-beta-OHD in prior case reports.
