Some forms of adrenal hyperplasia are more severe and cause adrenal crisis in the newborn due to salt wasting.

Adrenal hyperplasia refers to a radical of inherited adrenal gland disorders. People with this condition do no make enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone, and produce too much of androgen. Most of these conditions involve greater or lesser production of sex steroids and can alter development of primary or secondary sex characteristics in affected infants, children, and adults. Adrenal hyperplasia can affect both boys and girls. People with congenital adrenal hyperplasia lack of an enzyme needed by the adrenal gland to make the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. There are two major types of this disorder: classic adrenal hyperplasia, the more severe form of the disease affecting very young children; and nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia, a milder form that usually develops in late childhood or early adulthood.
