Abstract

Adrenal insufficiency is a rare disease that can be seen 35-60 per million. Acute adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis is a life threatening situation that requires urgent intervention. Although acute adrenal insufficiency is accompanied by various electrolyte disturbances, hypercalcemia rarely occurs. In this article, we present a case admitted to the hospital with confusion that was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency after the detection of hyperpigmentation, hypotension and hypoglycemia. and severe hypercalcemia associated with adrenal insufficiency.

Abstract

Adrenal yetmezlik milyonda 35-60 arasında görülebilen nadir bir hastalıktır. Akut adrenal yetmezlik veya adrenal kriz hayatı tehdit eden ve acil müdahale gerektiren bir durumdur. Akut adrenal yetmezlik sırasında çeşitli elektrolit bozukluklar görülebilirse de hiperkalsemi nadiren oluşmaktadır. Bu yazıda bilinç bulanıklığı nedeni ile başvurup hiperpigmentasyon, hipotansiyon ve hipoglisemi saptanarak adrenal yetmezlik ve adrenal yetmezlik ile ilişkili ciddi hiperkalsemi tanısı konulan bir vakayı sunduk.
