Context: Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency is the most frequent type of adrenal insufficiency, but its symptomatology has not been thoroughly studied.Objective: To describe the predominant symptoms experienced by patients with glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency and rate these symptoms’ significance for patients’ perceived need for supplemental hydrocortisone stress dose.Methods: The 80 symptoms in the...

Background: Long-term, low-dose prednisolone treatment (≤5mg/day) is associated with adrenal insufficiency in >33% of patients. Nevertheless, the clinical consequences of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency in patients receiving ongoing low-dose glucocorticoid treatment are unknown. Current clinical guidelines do not recommend routine evaluation of adrenal function during low-dose glucocorticoid treatment, and patients are not routinely instructed to increase gl...

Background: The risk and course of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GIA) are unclear and current evidence is retrospective and based on small and selected study populations. However, the prevalence of glucocorticoid use is at least 3 %, which underscores the need for unbiased and prospective assessment of the prevalence and clinical consequences of GIA.Objectives: To identify biomarkers of GIA as regards diagnosis, prognosis and responsivene...
