What’s In A Name?

- Congenital – you are born with a condition
- Adrenal – an important gland that sits above the kidney and is a steroid factory! Making critical stress hormones, male hormones, water-salt balance
- Hyperplasia – enlarged tissue *The adrenal gland gets bigger when it is trying to make cortisol (if the body does not have enough!) *The good news? The adrenal will get smaller once the body has enough cortisol
