Adrenal crisis? What's going on?

Adrenal crisis is a sudden and severe deficiency of adrenal cortical hormone secretion caused by various causes, resulting in a severe decrease in adrenal cortical concentration in the blood, resulting in dysfunction of various organs throughout the body. The patient may exhibit nausea, vomiting, lethargy, coma, and hypotensive shock. This is a serious disease that progresses rapidly and is dangerous, and eventually causes death. Common causes include the following: First, urology more common adrenal tumor surgery, especially those functional tumors, usually due to tumor tissue secretion of a large number of adrenal hormones, the body has adapted to such hormone levels, and normal adrenal gland function will be inhibited. When the tumor is removed, the residual normal adrenal tissue, can not secrete enough hormones and cause this crisis. Second, prolonged chronic hypoadrenalism and prolonged supplementation of adrenal hormones for other reasons, sudden withdrawal of adrenal hormones when the patient exhibits stress such as infection, trauma, surgery, etc., as well as other special circumstances, induce this adrenal crisis. There are other rare causes, such as taking certain drugs, and some acute adrenal bleeding due to trauma or other blood system diseases.
