Addison's disease

In these cases, the Cushing's is treated by gradual discontinuation of the corticosteroid drugs (if the drugs are withdrawn too quickly, an Addisonian crisis can result).

When corticosteroids of therapeutic doses have been given for any length time, sudden withdrawal can lead to acute adrenal insufficiency and thus Addisonian crisis.

Addisonian crisis precipitated by thyroxine therapy: A complication of type 2 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome.

The causes of hyponatremia in a postsurgical patient include syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), infusion of hypotonic solutions, excessive diuretics, congestive heart failure, renal disease, and addisonian crisis.

However, in about 25 percent of patients, symptoms first appear during an addisonian crisis.
