Secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) is a condition characterized by insufficient production of corticosteroids in the body, caused by dysfunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which leads to a decrease in the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Unlike primary adrenal insufficiency, where the cause lies in the adrenal glands themselves, in the second case the disorder occurs at the level of the central nervous system. This condition can develop after abrupt cessation of long-term glucocorticoid therapy, the presence of tumors, surgical interventions in the pituitary gland or pituitary insufficiency syndrome. Symptoms of secondary adrenal insufficiency include general weakness, weight loss, hypotension, hypoglycemia and changes in the psychoemotional state, which requires timely diagnosis and specific treatment.<\/p>\n
