The 13 pages that link to Hydrocortisone, each with the reason it gives.

• CortisolRelated: It replaces missing cortisol and treats some inflammatory conditions.

• Adrenal insufficiencyRelated: It replaces deficient cortisol and is also used urgently during adrenal crisis.

• PrednisoneCompared with: It is shorter acting and has greater mineralocorticoid activity than prednisone.

• Addison's diseaseRelated: It replaces the cortisol the damaged adrenal glands cannot supply.

• FludrocortisoneCompared with: Hydrocortisone provides stronger glucocorticoid replacement, while fludrocortisone has stronger salt-retaining activity.

• AdrenalectomyRelated: It may be needed when surgery leaves insufficient cortisol production.

• HypopituitarismRelated: Cortisol replacement is prioritized when pituitary ACTH deficiency is present.

• CortisoneCompared with: Unlike cortisone, hydrocortisone is already in the active hormone form.

• BetamethasoneCompared with: Hydrocortisone is less potent than betamethasone and has different mineralocorticoid activity.

• Edward Calvin KendallRelated: It is a related adrenal hormone distinguished from Kendall’s cortisone isolate.

• MethylprednisoloneCompared with: Hydrocortisone more closely reproduces cortisol's mineralocorticoid effects.

• PrednisoloneCompared with: It is shorter-acting and has stronger salt-retaining effects relative to its anti-inflammatory potency.

• Tadeusz ReichsteinBroader topic: It is used to replace cortisol, one of the adrenal hormones whose chemistry Reichstein investigated.
