Document: The Endocrine Society recently published a clinical practice guideline that details recommendations for both diagnosis and treatment of primary adrenal insufficiency. 2 The cosyntropin stimulation test is recommended for establishing the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency, together with measurement of plasma ACTH, renin, and aldosterone levels. 2 Treatment includes replacement of both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, respectively. 2 Numerous are the etiologies of primary adrenal insufficiency, including autoimmune (isolated or part of APS), adrenal injury, infectious, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, drug-induced, or metabolic disorders such as mitochondrial diseases or adrenoleukodystrophy. 2 Thus, effective treatment must be directed toward the underlying cause.
