- | Even though efficient and safe pharmaceutical preparations for the substitution of endogenous gluco- and mineralocorticoids are established in therapy, the mortality in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is still increased and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often reduced. PAI is a rare disease but recent data report an increasing prevalence.

Acute adrenal crisis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment. Standard replacement therapy consists of multiple daily doses of hydrocortisone or cortisone acetate combined with fludrocortisone. Annual follow-up by an endocrinologist is recommended with the focus on optimization of replacement therapy and detection of new autoimmune diseases. | Acute adrenal crisis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment.
