The prognosis for any patient with adrenal insufficiency will depend on the underlying cause. In those patients in whom the prognosis is not affected by the underlying pathology, replacement therapy should result in a return to health.[patient.info]

Epidemiology There is increasing evidence that in many critically ill patients activation of the HPA axis and the release of cortisol is impaired (AI).[clinicaladvisor.com]
Epidemiology [ 1, 2 ] Primary insufficiency - this is a relatively rare condition. The annual incidence is about 1 in 10,000 people, with a prevalence in the UK of about 8,400. Across Europe, prevalence is estimated as 93-144 per million.[patient.info]
Pathophysiology The mechanisms leading to inadequate cortisol production during critical illness are complex and poorly understood and likely include decreased production of CRH, ACTH, and cortisol.[clinicaladvisor.com]
The pathophysiology of this is not yet clear. It involves reduction in the production of glucocorticoids as well as reduced effect.[patient.info]
The patient was anticoagulated to prevent contralateral thrombosis. At 32 weeks she experienced spontaneous rupture of membranes. One week later she delivered vaginally and remained anticoagulated for the puerperium.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case illustrates the importance of promptly recognising adrenal insufficiency in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and the possible causative agents, which require careful consideration and exclusion to prevent further thrombotic events.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
