Acute adrenal insufficiency (AAI) is a rare but severe condition caused by a sudden defective production of adrenal steroids (cortisol and aldosterone). It represents an emergency, thus the rapid recognition and prompt therapy are critical for survival even before the diagnosis is made. [ Orphanet:95409 ]
Synonyms: acute adrenal failure adrenal crisis Addisonian crisis adrenocortical crisis acute adrenocortical insufficiency
