Introduction: Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) can be of autoimmune origin (AI), non-autoimmune origin (bilateral adrenalectomy, acute hemorrhage, infection) (NAI) or pharmaceutical (mitotane) origin. Studies have shown that these patients develop long-term morbidities and increased mortality due to excessive glucocorticoid tissue exposure. Data about differences concerning hydrocortisone (HC) needs, cortisol hormonal levels and metabolic parameters in these patients are sc...
