Background: Previous research has revealed variances in the composition of immune cells among patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) on conventional glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy compared to healthy controls. Modified-release hydrocortisone (MR-HC) optimizes cortisol pharmacokinetics, aligning with a more physiological circadian cortisol rhythm. This study therefore aims to assess the impact on the immune cell profile when transitioning patients with CAH ...
