Endocrine problems in the critically ill 2: endocrine emergencies. Kerr, Deborah Elizabeth et al. BJA Education, Volume 17, Issue 11, 377-382

  • Most endocrine emergencies are triggered by a secondary insult, which should be sought and managed appropriately
  • Clinical features may be non-specific, mimicking other disease processes. Maintain a high index of suspicion
  • Derangement of thyroid/adrenal function is common in the critically ill; correction of these derangements in the absence of underlying adrenal or thyroid disease is not required
  • Confirmation of diagnosis should not delay treatment in suspected acute adrenal insufficiency
  • Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased all-cause mortality, yet there is no current evidence to support its routine replacement in critical illness
