Adrenal Insufficiency Management

Meaning

The clinical strategy employed to treat inadequate production of essential adrenal cortex hormones, primarily cortisol and sometimes aldosterone, is known as Adrenal Insufficiency Management. This chronic condition requires lifelong, precise hormone replacement therapy to prevent life-threatening adrenal crises and restore physiological function. Effective management is paramount for maintaining energy homeostasis, blood pressure regulation, and a consistent quality of life. Patients receive tailored glucocorticoid and, if necessary, mineralocorticoid replacement, which must be adjusted during periods of physiological stress.
