Non-pharmacological strategies to prevent adrenal crisis during periods of intercurrent illness and periods of physiological stress: Adrenal insufficiency: identification and management
Excerpt
In times of physiological stress (increased physical need for cortisol/glucocorticoid replacement), individuals with adrenal insufficiency are unable to produce enough cortisol to meet these requirements. A failure to adjust glucocorticoid therapy in times of physiological stress may place individuals at risk of adrenal crisis or even death.
Patients, their family, or carers, may require the necessary information and training to develop the knowledge and skills to adjust their glucocorticoids in this way. Currently, there is variation in practice on the provision of information and in the level of content made available.
This review explores non-pharmacological strategies for managing periods of physiological stress in people with adrenal insufficiency.
