Can you die from adrenal failure?
a) Adrenal crisis remains an important cause of death in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Clinical deterioration may progress quickly, resulting in death at home or soon upon arrival in hospital. Early recognition and treatment of this endocrine emergency is crucial.Sep
b) There are four hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that control the functions of other endocrine glands. These hormones include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormones (LH).
c) Adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions.
