The 19 pages that link to Adrenal insufficiency, each with the reason it gives.

• CorticosteroidRelated: Hormone replacement uses corticosteroids when natural adrenal production is inadequate.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axisCompared with: Low cortisol may reflect failure of the adrenal cortex or insufficient upstream stimulation.

• HyperkalemiaRelated: Aldosterone deficiency can impair renal potassium secretion and produce hyperkalemia.

• HyponatremiaRelated: Cortisol or aldosterone deficiency can impair water and sodium regulation.

• DexamethasoneRelated: Prolonged dexamethasone can suppress adrenal function, making abrupt withdrawal hazardous.

• PrednisoneRelated: After prolonged treatment, abrupt prednisone withdrawal can leave cortisol production temporarily inadequate.

• GlucocorticoidRelated: Replacement glucocorticoids are essential when endogenous cortisol production is inadequate.

• HydrocortisoneRelated: Hydrocortisone replaces deficient cortisol in many patients with this condition.

• EndocrinologyBroader topic: Recognizing deficient adrenal hormones is a time-sensitive endocrine task.

• Central hypothyroidismRelated: It can coexist with pituitary failure and should be assessed before thyroid replacement.

• AdrenalectomyRelated: Removing both glands causes permanent adrenal insufficiency.

• Glucocorticoid withdrawalRelated: Suppression of cortisol production can make dose reduction or cessation expose inadequate adrenal function.

• CortisoneRelated: Corticosteroid medicines may replace hormones the body cannot make adequately.

• Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretionCompared with: It can mimic this syndrome by impairing water excretion and must be excluded.

• AdrenoleukodystrophyRelated: Adrenal cortical damage can impair cortisol and, often, aldosterone production.

• BetamethasoneCompared with: Prolonged betamethasone exposure can suppress adrenal function, making abrupt withdrawal hazardous.

• PrednisoloneRelated: After prolonged treatment, abrupt withdrawal can leave natural cortisol production inadequate.

• DehydroepiandrosteroneRelated: DHEA may be considered as an adjunct in some cases, alongside established hormone replacement.

• Empty sella syndromeRelated: Pituitary ACTH deficiency can cause secondary adrenal insufficiency, a consequential but uncommon finding.
