    Document: Adrenal insufficiency is a rare diagnosis in pediatric patients and timely diagnosis is crucial to prevent lifethreatening complications. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion when there are any signs, symptoms, or laboratory findings suggesting adrenal pathology. Once the diagnosis is made, it is imperative to determine etiology. The presence of adrenal antibodies confirms an autoimmune cause. Autoimmune adrenal disease may be isolated or associated with a cluster of other autoimmune diseases referred to as APS. It is important to screen for other autoimmune diseases in patients with confirmed autoimmune adrenal insufficiency to adequately treat these patients and avoid complications and sequela.
