To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2018; 103(8): 2998–3009.Conventional glucocorticoid (GC) therapy in adrenal insufficiency (AI) does not fully mimic the endogenous cortisol circadian rhythm, and this may adversely affect long-term health. In the recent DREAM trial (Dual Release Hydrocortisone vs. Conventional Glucocorticoid Replacement in H...

To read the full abstract: Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2018; 6(3): 173-185Adrenal insufficiency (AI), caused by adrenal failure (primary) or hypothalamo-pituitary failure (secondary), has a prevalence of 250–450 per 1 million (16). AI is potentially life-threatening and requires lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Modified-release hydrocortisone preparations have bee...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020; 105(1): dgz055. PMID: 31613957.Mineralocorticoid (MC) replacement therapy along with glucocorticoid (GC) replacement is crucial to avoid life-threating adrenal crises in Addison´s disease (AD) and in classical CAH (1–3). MC is administered with the aim of achieving plasma renin concentration (PRC) within the upper limit of ...
