Salt retaining (17-a hydroxylase or 11-13 hydroxylase deficiency) Due to excessive mineralocoicoids there is --> i) Hypernatremia iii) Increased chloride ii) Hypokalemia iv) Hypeension 2. Salt losing (21 hydroxylase or 3-13 HSD) deficiency Due to mineralocoicoid deficiency threre is i) Hyponatremia iii) Hyperkalemia ii) Low chloride iv) Low BP dehydration o In all types of CAH, there is deficiency of glucocoicoid that results in hypoglycemia.
