| Popis: | This manuscript attempts to simplify the manner of diagnosing adrenal insufficiency. With the ever increasing age of the patient population, along with their comorbidities, readers should be aware of how to diagnose acute adrenal insufficiency promptly. More often than not, resident physicians as well as clinicians struggle to diagnose and treat adrenal insufficiency in a timely manner, as diagnostic testing is time dependent. The time sensitive nature of the co-cosyntropin testing, which is difficult to implement even as an in-patient by nurses/phlebotomist secondary to nursing ratio, can be a quality improvement project in itself. |
