Adrenal insufficiency is characterised by inadequate glucocorticoid production owing to
destruction of the adrenal cortex or lack of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation. In …

Adrenal insufficiency is a serious pathologic condition characterized by decreased
production or action of glucocorticoids and/or mineralocorticoids and adrenal androgens …

Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency is caused by exogenous glucocorticoid
suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is the most prevalent form of …

Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of less than 300 per
million [1]. AI can either be the result of destruction of the adrenal glands (primary AI), or of …

Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency usually show pronounced impairment of
aldosterone secretion and, therefore, require also mineralocorticoid replacement for full …

Glucocorticoids (GC s) are steroid hormones, which are essential for life. They are secreted
by the adrenal cortex under the control of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis …

Glucocorticoid replacement therapy in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI), whether
primary (A ddison's disease) or secondary (due to hypopituitarism), has been established for …

Adrenal insufficiency (AI), first described by Thomas Addison in 1855, is characterised by
inadequate hormonal production by the adrenal gland, which could either be primary, due to …

Background The clinical signs of adrenal cortical insufficiency (incidence, ca. 25 per million
per year; prevalence, ca. 400 per million) are nonspecific, and misdiagnoses are therefore …

Adrenal insufficiency, primarily presenting as an adrenal crisis, is a life-threatening
emergency and requires prompt therapeutic management including fluid resuscitation and …
