Description

Adrenal disorders and insufficiency is a broad topic with a wide variety of differentials. Appropriate diagnosis is often delayed for patients because symptoms can be vague and vary significantly. This presentation aims to review pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and evaluation of patients with suspected adrenal insufficiency so physicians can discuss pharmacologic management with steroid and mineral corticosteroid supplementation.

At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to:

  • Review pathophysiology, evaluation, and diagnosis of patients with suspected adrenal insufficiency
  • Discuss pharmacologic management with steroid and mineralocorticoid supplementation
  • Review challenges and questions encountered following these patients long-term
