Large-Dose Glucocorticoid Induced Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency in Spinal Cord Injury.

Published in: Annals of rehabilitation medicine (2016)

Among the patients with SCI who manifested similar symptoms as those of AI, high incidence of AI was found especially in those who were treated with large-dose glucocorticoids. During management of SCI, if a patient has similar symptoms as those of AI, clinicians should consider the possibility of AI, especially when the patient has a history of large-dose glucocorticoid use. Early recognition and treatment of the underlying AI should be performed.
