Case Challenge: Chronic Opioid Use Causing Adrenal Insufficiency
Sickle cell anemia patient develops opioid-induced endocrinopathy while on chronic opioid therapy.
I found this interesting even without the opioid component. Lab numbers are included in the article. She was either at the low end or just below range on the numbers, so many docs would have passed right by it. Too bad it sometimes takes an emergency to really look for other options.
