Hidden hormone disorders may explain salt loss in newborns

This study looks at newborns who lose too much salt due to rare hormone problems that can be mistaken for a more common condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Researchers want to find out how often these rare conditions happen and describe their symptoms, genetics, and treatment. The study involves 25 patients born between 1989 and 2023 who had salt loss within the first two months of life.
