- Acutely Ill Patient
Eosinophilia in particular should arouse suspicion, because only 3% of acutely ill patients have eosinophilia. Of those, 23% have acute adrenal insufficiency.38 Hyponatremia, although not always present, is the most consistent finding. [mitchmedical.us]
As already observed, after spontaneous bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in acutely ill patients ( 23 ), endocrine studies of our subject demonstrate that, in a patient with a primary antiphospholipid syndrome, a definitive loss of adrenal function could be [academic.oup.com]

In reported cases, temperature may range from low-grade fever to high fever with chills. In the setting of adrenal hemorrhage, fever may be associated with adrenal insufficiency, the hematoma itself, or the underlying cause of adrenal hemorrhage. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The onset of the illness is nonspecific with fever, rigors, vomiting, and headache. Soon a rash appears; first macular, not much different from the rose spots of typhoid, and rapidly becoming petechial and purpuric with a dusky gray color. [en.wikipedia.org]

- Abdominal Mass
Hemorrhage of liver is usually occurs as a subcapsular hemorrhage and it is clinically presented an abdominal mass without symptoms of anemia. But intraparenchymal hemorrhage of liver is very rare and there is no sign of abdominal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Acute Abdomen
Signs of acute abdomen, including guarding, rigidity, or rebound tenderness, have been reported in 15-20% of patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
Adrenal crisis from bilateral adrenal hemorrhage was diagnosed by a low serum cortisol level during hypotension and bilateral hyperdense oval masses in each of the adrenal glands in a computerized tomographic study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Tachycardia
Within 6 h after delivery, the patient showed pallor without tachycardia and hypotension. In laboratory studies, hemoglobin level failed from 14 g/dL to 10 g/dL within 6 h. Physical examination revealed no signs of abdominal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tachycardia and hypotension are late signs. [mitchmedical.us]
On postoperative day (POD) 2, she developed new-onset sinus tachycardia and showed depressed pulse-oximetry readings. [f1000research.com]
Clinical manifestations, such as fever, tachycardia, hypotension, lethargy, and electrolyte disturbances, commonly occur in postoperative patients as well. [healio.com]
After initial recovery, he had clinical deterioration on day 3 after the procedure with significant hypotension (with systolic blood pressure ranging between 80 and 90 mmHg) and sinus tachycardia. [edmcasereports.com]
- Chest Pain
He returned within 24 hours with vague abdominal and chest pain. His complaints of pain were difficult to localize--radiating from back to chest and abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
- Confusion
The clinical manifestations of adrenal insufficiency vary widely and can be easily confused with sepsis. High index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common symptoms and signs were flank pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, weakness, fatigue, confusion, and hypotension. [healio.com]
Three days after admission, she remained febrile, became confused and developed bilateral abdominal pain. A repeat CT scan of the abdomen showed a bilateral adrenal hemorrhage ( Fig. 1B ). [academic.oup.com]
Surgical stress seems to be a contributing factor to the development of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage or adrenal insufficiency.30 Alford and coauthors reported that 5 of 4364 patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures experienced bizarre and confusing [mitchmedical.us]
Workup
If on the unenhanced-CT the density is equal to or below 10 HU the lesion is considered to be an adenoma and no further workup is neccessary If the density is more than 10 HU the wash out should be calculated. [radiologyassistant.nl]
Serum
- Hyponatremia
Investigations revealed anemia with thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, and acute-on-chronic kidney injury. Despite treatment for urosepsis, she became tachypneic, clammy, light-headed, drowsy, and hypothermic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hydration and correction of the hyponatremia are necessary. Large doses of hydrocortisone, FIGURE 72-2. [mitchmedical.us]
While she did not take steroid therapy, the subject of this case report developed hypotension, hyponatremia, and hyperkaliema owing to an acute adrenal insufficiency. [academic.oup.com]
Laboratory analysis at that time was remarkable for a leukocytosis to (16,000/µL), thrombocytopenia of 49,000/µL (from a pre-operative value of 234,000/µL), hyponatremia to 125mEq/L (baseline of 139mEq/L) and a relatively normal HCT of 31.7%. [f1000research.com]
Treatment
Corticosteroid treatment in situations of severe stress or sepsis had little effect on outcome (9% vs. 6% survival with and without corticosteroid treatment, respectively). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment with ACTH for cases of multiple sclerosis or inflammatory bowel disease has in some cases been linked to bilateral adrenal hemorrhage. [simple-remedies.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis of acute bilateral adrenal hemorrhage remains good so long as patients undergo appropriate treatment, including anticoagulation and corticosteroid replacement therapy. [consultant360.com]
Etiology
Adrenal hemorrhage has many etiologies including bleeding diathesis. A 10-day-old female baby was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of abdominal distention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DE The etiology, diagnosis and management of müllerian duct remnants are discussed. A complex case of penile- scrotal hypospadia, hypoplastic prostate gland, testicular ectopia and retrovesical cyst is presented. [linguatools.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Frequency United States Adrenal hemorrhage has been reported in 0.3-1.8% of unselected cases in autopsy studies, although extensive bilateral adrenal hemorrhage may be present in 15% of individuals who die of shock. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Several pathophysiological changes during the intraoperative and postoperative period make the adrenal gland susceptible to adrenal haemorrhage. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
They reviewed the existing theories of the pathophysiology of adrenal insufficiency in the burn patient. Vaughan and associates demonstrated Cortisol levels three to four times higher than normal in patients with burns greater than 30%. [mitchmedical.us]
Elevated ACTH level is the proposed hypothesis as pathophysiology in the context of sepsis from amoebic liver abscess (2). This is based on animal studies (3). [edmcasereports.com]
Pathophysiology Although the precise mechanisms leading to adrenal hemorrhage are unclear in nontraumatic cases, available evidence has implicated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), adrenal vein spasm and thrombosis, and the normally limited venous drainage [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
She was discharged on long-term glucocorticoid replacement for her primary adrenal insufficiency as well as an anticoagulant for prevention of thrombosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
