Endocrinology - CAH??

Hey everyone, what's up!👋 So, look—I haven’t really had any reason to jump in here and post until now (thankfully!), but here we go:
My niece just got diagnosed with this specific growth disorder—apparently, it’s all tied to some kind of hormone imbalance—and her doctors suggested I do a little digging online to see if I could find anything helpful. But honestly? I’m hitting a total brick wall. I can't seem to find much actual info on this particular condition anywhere. Since I know there are a ton of super smart, highly educated folks in this group, I was hoping I could tap into that collective brainpower! If anyone could point me toward a solid resource, drop a helpful link, or even just break down what this actually means in plain English, I would be seriously grateful.😕

Thanks a million!

Just run a quick search for growth hormone—also known as somatotropin or STH. I'm sure you'll find a mountain of info online about how it works.

It all comes down to cortisol.

Gary Peterson84, I went ahead and changed your thread title—since the disorder is actually called CAH, not KAH like you had it written (honestly, I didn't even know either... I just picked it up from those links Sophia Martinez65 was sharing) 🙂

Oh, it's totally fine! No worries at all.
My doctor actually mentioned over the phone that it stands for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—or CAH for short. 😕

Anyway, thanks a million to everyone for sharing those links! 😘

Eh, my bad, I didn't even catch the title, and since you skipped over the actual hormone name in the post, I totally misread the situation. 😳 That’s just what insomnia does to your brain... I really need to go vent about this on the other thread. 😬
