Risk calculators and risk factors for 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]
