MELAS: mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes; CIRCI: critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency; ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone; RENI: renal, endocrine, neurologic and immune.
* In familial glucocorticoid deficiency and triple A syndrome, patients usually have isolated glucocorticoid deficiency and not mineralocorticoid deficiency, so the clinical presentation may be similar to central adrenal insufficiency rather than primary adrenal insufficiency. However, hyperpigmentation may be present.Do you want to add Medilib to your home screen?
