For this year’s chapter on ‘Adrenals’, we have searched the PubMed for articles on ‘adrenal’ or ‘steroidogenesis’ published in English between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018. Our search yielded more than 5,000 citations. We have examined all citations individually and selected the following collection of basic research and clinical articles. Whenever possible, we have avoided topics that have been discussed in the Yearbook 2017, unless progress in the field has been incremental. Emerging themes for this year’s chapter include: i) Mutations in the CLCN2 chloride channel cause Familial Hyperaldosteronism type II; ii) the ultradian rhythmicity of plasma cortisol is necessary for normal emotional and cognitive responses in man; iii) advances in the diagnosis and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; iv) guidelines for the diagnosis and management of critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) in critically ill patients; and v) the role of microRNAs in glucocorticoid action.
