Emergency Guidance on Adrenal Crisis

[member_41389]

Hi
The Endocrine Society has just issued new guidance for the Emergency Treatment of Adrenal Insufficiency.

Society for Endo ‏@Soc_Endo Oct 16
Acute adrenal insufficiency: our new guidance highlights key points in recognition, mgmt & treatment http://bit.ly/2er5ZNZ  @AddisonsUK

This is produced by Prof. Wiebke Arlt and the Society for Endocrinology Clinical Committee and will be useful ammunition in the inevitable discussion of treatment needs if you experience an Adrenal Crisis.

Regards

Tim

Well done, Carl! Thank you. The info is now all 'joined up'! It could be very useful indeed to help inform medics who may lack that detailed knowledge. My son has posted a link on his Facebook page so that his many medic friends who qualified in recent years can check it out.
The next step for us patients is to show our nearest and dearest how they too can access the info so they can refer to it in a crisis, if necessary.
