Management and treatment Immediate treatment in an intensive care unit is necessary. Differential diagnosis Secondary adrenal insufficiency needs to be eliminated. Disease definition Acute insufrisance insufficiency AAI is a rare but severe condition caused by a sudden defective production of adrenal steroids cortisol and aldosterone. A precipitating illness severe infection, acute myocardial surtenaliennesurgery without adrenal support, pregnancy, any acute or chronic disease, or acute trauma are other potential causes of an acute adrenal crisis.

The initial presentation may insuffieance limited to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. It represents an emergency, thus the rapid recognition and prompt therapy are critical for survival even before the diagnosis is made. Secondary adrenal insufficiency needs to be eliminated. If untreated, shock and bilateral adrenal hemorrhage can rapidly lead to death. Prognosis varies depending on the etiologies, but is generally correlated with the rapidity of diagnosis and medical assistance.
Laboratory exams show signs of adrenal insufficiency hypoglycemia, hyponatremia and elevated natriuresis, hyperkaliemia, hemoconcentration, hypochloremic metabolic acidosis and functional renal failure confirmed by hypocortisolemia, increased ACTH, and an surrenalinne response to rapid ACTH stimulation testing that leads to the diagnosis of absolute and peripheral AAI.

Hypoglycemic seizures or symptoms of dehydration are common manifestations seen in children. It can also be caused by tuberculosis, opportunistic mycoses and viral infections in immunocompromised patients and adrenal metastases.
