This skill outlines monitoring of mineralocorticoid replacement in primary adrenal insufficiency, focusing on clinical assessment of salt craving, postural hypotension, or edema alongside serum electrolyte measurements. It is initiated when evaluating patients on fludrocortisone therapy to ensure adequate dosing and avoid over- or under-replacement.

Suggests a trial of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) replacement in women with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) who report low libido, depressive symptoms, and/or low energy levels despite otherwise optimized glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement. Consider when a woman with PAI presents with persistent low libido, depressive symptoms, and/or low energy levels after glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid doses have been titrated to clinical targets.

Initiates a 6‑month trial of DHEA replacement in women with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) who have persistent low libido, depressive symptoms, or low energy despite otherwise optimized glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid therapy. If the patient does not report a sustained beneficial effect after 6 months, discontinue DHEA.

Differentiates aldosterone-producing adenoma from idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia based on 18-hydroxycorticosterone levels, with APA patients generally having levels >100 ng/dL at 8:00 a.m. and IAH patients usually having levels <100 ng/dL. Use when reviewing 18-OHB test results to help subtype PA; triggers include 18-OHB >100 ng/dL (suggesting APA) or <100 ng/dL (suggesting IAH).

Determines unilateral vs bilateral aldosterone excess based on cortisol-corrected aldosterone ratios from adrenal venous sampling, with ratio >4:1 indicating unilateral excess, ratio 3:1 suggestive of bilateral hypersecretion, and interpretation dependent on cosyntropin stimulation protocol used during sampling. Use when analyzing AVS results to guide surgical vs medical treatment decisions; triggers include 'AVS lateralization ratio', 'cosyntropin-stimulated AVS', 'aldosterone-to-cortisol ratio >4:1', and 'ratio 3:1 suggestive of bilateral disease'.

Interprets the saline infusion test (SIT) to assess the probability of primary aldosteronism when a patient has a positive aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) and requires confirmatory testing. Triggers include evaluating post‑infusion plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) after a positive ARR, hypertension work‑up, or when deciding whether to proceed to adrenal venous sampling (AVS).
