Hyponatraemia with a high urinary sodium. In this review, we discuss these etiologies and the most recent advances in our knowledge of their pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. As the guidelines are mainly derived from the asthma literature, this chapter also highlights the need for studies to evaluate the impact of CF therapies on adrenal function and other CF-endocrinopathies. If the patient is hypervolaemic, cardiac failure, liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome needs to be considered. The classic disorder of the adrenal medulla resulting in hypertension is pheochromocytoma, although hypertension in obesity might also be associated with catecholamine secretion. This chapter provides practical guidelines regarding the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency. Chronic use of inhaled and oral corticosteroids can negatively affect bone health, growth, and glucose metabolism. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis. Prolonged use suppresses the body's ability to make cortisol, resulting in iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency upon medication discontinuation. By binding to the glucocorticoid receptor, medications such as inhaled and oral corticosteroids can enhance the systemic effects of cortisol and result in iatrogenic Cushing syndrome. It can cause adrenal complications such as shock and coma. Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) Classic CAH is the more serious form of the disease. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis. The symptoms of overactive adrenal glands may resemble other conditions or medical problems. These types are classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia. An overproduction of the aldosterone hormone can lead to high blood pressure and to those symptoms associated with low levels of potassium, such as weakness, muscle aches, spasms, and sometimes paralysis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is not known to directly affect the adrenal gland, but commonly used CF therapies do impact the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Two main types of CAH make up 95 of all cases.
