Adrenal insufficiency is a complex condition with a number of different causes that may result in considerable morbidity and mortality if left undiagnosed/untreated. It is an often elusive diagnosis that requires awareness, knowledge of symptoms and signs and endocrinological expertise to be correctly ...
Guidelines from Britain’s Society for Endocrinology on the emergency management of adrenal crisis, published in 2016, include the following diagnostic recommendations [20] : Adrenal insufficiency should be ruled out in any acutely ill patient with signs or symptoms potentially suggestive of acute adrena...

Acute adrenal insufficiency (AAI) is a potentially fatal medical emergency whose prevention and treatment should be known by all medical professionals. AAI is an underdiagnosed condition because of its non-specific symptoms, but its diagnosis and early treatment with glucocorticoids is vital. It may ...

F., N.T., Y.K.], Kobe Pharmaceutical University, Kobe 658-8558, Japan ABSTRACT: A recent survey found that approximately 4% of very low birth weight infants in Japan were treated with glucocorticoids postnatally for circulatory collapse thought to be caused by late-onset adrenal insufficiency...
Previously, early adrenal insufficiency has been linked with illness severity in a study showing an association between decreased ACTH-stimulated cortisol and a higher SNAP score in VLBW infants (6). A specific link with hypotension has been supported by a number of findings, including lower random...
While the majority recovered within 7 weeks, a small number of children had ongoing adrenal insufficiency lasting up to 34 weeks. High-dose fluconazole was suggested as a risk factor for prolonged adrenal insufficiency. The relationship between the presence of infection or stress and adrenal ...
Due to the adrenolytic activity of mitotane, all patients must receive concomitant administration of glucocorticoids to cover adrenal insufficiency. Owing to an increased metabolic clearance rate of glucocorticoids by mitotane therapy, high-dose glucocorticoid replacement is needed. Mineralocorticoid ...
