Overview
There are some conditions that cause adrenal hormone imbalance which should be differentiated from adrenal atrophy.
Adrenal atrophy differential diagnosis
Adrenal atrophy must be differentiated from other diseases that cause salt wasting and nausea or vomiting and yield to the adrenal hormone imbalance. Among the main diseases are:
- Adrenal Crisis
- Adrenal Hemorrhage
- C-17 Hydroxylase Deficiency
- Eosinophilia
- Histoplasmosis
- Hyperkalemia
- Sarcoidosis
- Tuberculosis (TB)
In addition, hyponatremia and hyperkalemia may result from chronic renal insufficiency due to inadequate production of renin and consequent aldosterone deficiency.[1][2]
