Patients with CAH must experience a transition from pediatric to adult care, because it is a chronic disease with the need of a specific treatment and the risk of various long-term complications. Transition of adolescents to adult care involves changes in treatment goals. Careful monitoring, extensive education, and long-term follow-up should be required for patients with CAH. Optimal management of adults with 21-OHD can be achieved through a multidisciplinary approach. Future prospective studies designed specifically to examine the long-term effects of a successful transition of CAH patients are needed.
