Adrenal crisis

Adrenal crisis - the syndrome occurs as a result of ischemia of adrenal tissue due to impaired cerebral circulation, neurocirculatory disorders, and pathology of other endocrine glands. Spontaneous manifestation occurs rarely and usually occurs as insulitis (hypokalemic hyperventilation) in 48-50% of cases of the total number of clinical forms of adrenal crisis. Other types of adrenal crises are manifested by severe arterial hypertension - 26%, hyperthermia - 13%, edema - 7%. Provoking factors of development are hypothermia, mental trauma 27%, activation of infection 9%. The disease is characterized by a malignant course, the course is possible without an acute period, in the form of progressive azotoprea, hypoglycemia and erythremia.

Adrenal crisis is a condition in which the adrenal glands stop producing enough hormones needed for the body to function properly. This may be due to various reasons such as infections, injuries, tumors or other diseases.

Symptoms of adrenal crisis may include weakness, fatigue, decreased appetite, weight loss, depression, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, and elevated blood pressure and body temperature. If left untreated, a crisis can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and even death.

To treat adrenal crisis, you must consult an endocrinologist. He will conduct an examination and prescribe treatment, which may include medications aimed at improving the functioning of the adrenal glands, as well as correcting other factors that may contribute to the development of a crisis.

Adrenal crisis or adrenal crisis is a crisis characterized by an acute increase in the production of hormones of the peripheral endocrine glands - cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol and aldosterone cause an increase in blood pressure and may be accompanied by clinical manifestations of heart failure or cardiomyopathy due to fluid retention in the body. The clinical picture may resemble, in particular, acute kidney damage (acute interstitial nephritis), thyrotoxicosis or thrombocytopenia. Autoimmune form of pituitary diabetes insipidus. Provoking factors are electrolyte imbalance, stress, surgical interventions, taking glucocorticoids and other pharmacological drugs, as well as cancer. It is based on an immunopathological process.
