Overview
Secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused mainly by four categories, hypopituitarism, drugs, genetic and other causes. Life-threatening causes include acute withdrawal of steroids, adrenal hemorrhage, Waterhouse-Friderichson syndrome, anticoagulation and gastroenteritis which causes adrenal crisis. The common causes include chronic steroid therapy and its withdrawal, opiates, causes of panhypopituitarism and the less common causes are genetic causes which include combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD), proopiomelanocortin deficiency POMC and isolated ACTH deficiency.
Causes
Life-threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes of secondary adrenal insufficiency include causes of acute adrenal crisis/insufficiency:
- Acute withdrawal of steroids.
- Traumatic hypopituitarism.[1]
- Adrenal hemorrhage
- Waterhouse-Friderichson syndrome
- Anticoagulation.
- Gastroenteritis.[2]
Common Causes
Secondary adrenal insufficiency may be caused by:
- Drugs
- Chronic steroid therapy and its withdrawal
- Opiates
- Etomidate
- Antifungals- ketoconazole[3]
- Pituitary causes:
- Infections- tuberculosis
- Pituitary infarction
- Pituitary removal
- Pituitary irradiation
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of secondary adrenal insufficiency include:
- Pituitary causes
- Genetic causes:
- Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD)
- Proopiomelanocortin deficiency (POMC)
- Isolated ACTH deficiency
