Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Adrenal Insufficiency. We will discuss the pathophysiology, including the inadequate production of adrenal hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, which can be due to primary adrenal failure (Addison's disease) or secondary causes affecting the pituitary. The lecture will include a discussion on the clinical manifestations, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss, and electrolyte imbalances. The digital presentation will begin with the diagnostic approach, highlighting the importance of serum cortisol levels, ACTH stimulation tests, and imaging studies to assess adrenal and pituitary glands. Finally, we will review management strategies for Adrenal Insufficiency, emphasizing hormone replacement therapy to restore hormone levels and manage symptoms. Enjoy the lecture and support us below!

Wait a minute, you apologised a few days ago for this masterpiece???!!!

Our kids asthma specialist had us put a humidifier inside their room which we later learned contributed to mold and dust mite growth, making their asthma chronic. He also prescribed FLOVENT, a steroid inhaler at a dose 4x what it should be for our tiny daughter and it shut down her adrenal system, she nearly died in ICU before an endocrinologist figured out the cause and treatment (cortisone helped her recover over 6 months until she was ok again). This doctor should be behind bars, but he's out doing it to thousands of other kids with the full support and profit of pharma. This system is not helping us. We got our kids off of the inhalers, removed the humidifier and they've been fine since.
I'm not diagnosing other's conditions or situations but I'm a parent who nearly lost my child due to gross misuse of these drugs on my daughter.

[@ARefinedMe]

I have secondary adrenal insufficiency, caused by Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy. I see several new people every week joining the support groups online who have this side effect of immunotherapy, I think it’s becoming more and more common. I have almost no cortisol, almost no acth, and almost no DHEA. I also have almost no estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, or pregnenolone. I have high FSH and FH. I was not in menopause prior to chemotherapy & immunotherapy.

Why do I maintain a normal blood sugar when untreated for SAI if cortisol causes blood sugar to rise and my cortisol tanked?

[@bootatoboo]

why isnt CAH considered primary adrenal insufficiency?

[@unsaiftikhar8580]

CEA is because of congenital absence of 21OH and manifested in young children.....

[@unsaiftikhar8580]

CAH*

[@abhishekkaushal5267]

In CAH there is deficiency of 21-OH enzyme which cause decrease in aldosterone and cortisol and switch the pathway more towards the synthesis of androgen
