Acute Adrenal Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acute adrenal insufficiency is a situation in which the adrenal glands suddenly fail to produce the hormones the body needs, especially those that help respond to stress and maintain internal balance.
Why it matters: it is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate attention, which is why it is usually managed in intensive care settings.
Possible manifestations: severe weakness, dizziness, low blood pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, and confusion may appear.
Which specialist manages it? In the acute phase, the critical care and intensive care specialist steps in, while follow-up of hormonal control falls to the endocrinologist. When symptoms worsen quickly, the wise course is to seek professional care immediately.
