What Is Adrenal Insufficiency?

Iatrogenic renal cortical insufficiency: Patients who consume a large amount of glucocorticoid for a long time, when the dose is reduced too quickly or the drug is abruptly stopped, can cause adrenal cortex atrophy and dysfunction, which is due to feedback inhibition of the secretion of ACTH by the pituitary As a result, this kind of cortical insufficiency takes six months or even one to two years to recover, so you should not stop the drug suddenly, and continue to use ACTH for about 7 days after stopping the hormone.
