Helps distinguish unilateral from bilateral adrenal disease based on 18-oxocortisol levels, which are typically higher in aldosterone-producing adenoma than idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia. Use when evaluating 18-oxocortisol results during PA workup to guide subtype classification after a positive ARR.

Determines whether to screen a patient with hypertension for primary aldosteronism based solely on the presence of hypertension. Use when a clinician asks whether to screen a hypertensive patient for PA, triggered by phrases such as "should we screen for aldosteronism" or "evaluate for secondary hypertension".

Recommends initiating hydrocortisone replacement at a total starting dose of 8 mg/m2 body surface area per day, given in three or four divided doses, for children with confirmed primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Use when starting glucocorticoid therapy in pediatric PAI patients, adjusting the dose according to individual clinical response, growth, and need for stress coverage.

Suggests reducing the fludrocortisone dose in patients who develop new-onset hypertension while on fludrocortisone replacement for primary adrenal insufficiency. Consider dose reduction when hypertension arises alongside signs of mineralocorticoid excess such as edema, weight gain, or hypokalemia.

Recommends hydrocortisone stress dosing during the active phase of labor for pregnant patients with primary adrenal insufficiency, using a regimen similar to major surgical stress. Trigger phrases: "active phase of labor", "cervix dilation ≥4 cm", "contractions every 5 minutes", "PAI patient in labor".

Determines whether to perform adrenal venous sampling (AVS) to lateralize aldosterone excess in patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism (PA) who are being evaluated for surgical treatment. Indicated when surgery is feasible and desired by the patient, or when subtype workup is planned for a surgical candidate, especially in those younger than 35 years with spontaneous hypokalemia, marked aldosterone excess, and unilateral adrenal lesions on CT.

Interprets the postural stimulation test to detect angiotensin II‑unresponsive aldosterone‑producing adenoma (APA) or familial hyperaldosteronism type I (FH‑I) when aldosterone fails to rise with upright posture. Triggered by clinical cues such as “postural stimulation test shows no aldosterone increase”, “suspected APA with non‑responsive aldosterone”, or “evaluating FH‑I in young patients with early‑onset hypertension and hypokalemia”.

Recommends measuring serum cortisol levels at 8–9 AM as the first-line test for diagnosing central adrenal insufficiency. Use when starting diagnostic workup for suspected adrenal insufficiency; triggers include suspected adrenal insufficiency requiring initial cortisol testing.

Recommends performing biochemical testing for HPA axis at least 18-24 hours after last hydrocortisone dose or longer for synthetic glucocorticoids. Use when scheduling HPA axis testing in glucocorticoid-treated patient needing assessment of adrenal reserve.

Suggests using longer-acting glucocorticoids when standard hydrocortisone regimens are impractical due to nonavailability, poor adherence, or need for once-daily dosing. Triggers include glucocorticoid replacement therapy decisions where patients report difficulty with multiple daily doses, lack of access to hydrocortisone, or preference for simplified regimens.

Administers 100-mg hydrocortisone IV bolus followed by continuous IV infusion of 200 mg HC per 24 hours (alternatively 50 mg IV every 6 hours) for patients undergoing major surgical stress. Use when managing patient with major surgical stress; triggers include patient undergoing major surgery.

Suggests administering 25-75 mg hydrocortisone per 24 hours for 1-2 days in patients with adrenal insufficiency undergoing minor to moderate surgical stress. Triggers include patient undergoing minor to moderate surgery with known or suspected adrenal insufficiency.

In patients with normal preoperative adrenal function, suggests an individualized clinical approach for postoperative glucocorticoid administration until HPA axis evaluation can be performed. Triggers include managing postoperative patient with normal preoperative adrenal function needing glucocorticoid management.

Recommends administering stress-dose glucocorticoids before surgery and tapering after surgery in patients with adrenal insufficiency before repeat testing. Triggers include preoperative planning for surgery in a patient with known or suspected adrenal insufficiency.

Recommends adjusting glucocorticoid doses on the day of surgery based on illness severity and magnitude of surgical stress. Triggers when managing a patient requiring surgery needing perioperative glucocorticoid management, such as "patient on HC for central AI undergoing major abdominal surgery" or "patient with hypopituitarism scheduled for minor procedure".

Recommends measurement of plasma ACTH to establish primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) diagnosis in patients with confirmed cortisol deficiency; a plasma ACTH concentration ≥2-fold the upper limit of the reference range supports PAI. Use when evaluating plasma ACTH in a patient with low morning cortisol or abnormal corticotropin stimulation test.

This skill suggests initiating antihypertensive treatment while continuing fludrocortisone when blood pressure remains uncontrolled after fludrocortisone dose reduction. Trigger phrases include "BP remains uncontrolled," "persistent hypertension," or "elevated BP despite fludrocortisone adjustment."

The Endocrine Society guideline recommends against routine hormonal monitoring of glucocorticoid replacement in primary adrenal insufficiency and advises adjusting therapy solely based on clinical response. Use when evaluating glucocorticoid dose adequacy, such as when patients report fatigue, weight loss, hypotension, or signs of Cushingoid over-replacement.

Suggests using hydrocortisone 15–25 mg or cortisone acetate 20–35 mg daily in two or three divided oral doses for adult primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) patients initiating glucocorticoid replacement. The highest dose is given upon awakening, with the second dose either early afternoon (≈2 h after lunch) or split into lunch and afternoon doses; consider total daily dose calculation based on chosen formulation and frequency.

This skill suggests using prednisolone as an alternative glucocorticoid when hydrocortisone is unavailable for emergency treatment of adrenal crisis. Dexamethasone is the least-preferred option and should only be administered if no other glucocorticoid is available.

This skill guides annual evaluation of patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) for symptoms and signs of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid over- or under-replacement. Use during annual follow-up when assessing for weight changes, blood pressure abnormalities, edema, or symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, or salt craving.
