Adrenal Insufficiency
Also known as: Addison's Disease · Hypoadrenalism
Adrenal insufficiency is inadequate cortisol production by the adrenal cortex. Symptoms include fatigue, hypotension, weight loss, and salt craving. Diagnosis requires AM cortisol, ACTH, and stimulation testing.
What you need to know
Provider-reviewed assessment uses morning cortisol, ACTH, and a full biomarker panel to differentiate primary (adrenal) from secondary (pituitary) etiologies. Treatment is endocrinology-managed; oMeds does not initiate steroid replacement but flags candidates for referral.
