|---|---|
| adrenocortical adenoma | <tumour> A benign tumour of adrenal cortical cells; small unencapuslated nodules of adrenal cortex are probably localised areas of hyperplasia rather than adenoma's; true adenoma's are rare and may be symptomless or associated with Cushing's syndrome or primary aldosteronism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocortical hormones | Hormone's secreted by the human adrenal cortex; e.g., cortisol, aldosterone, corticosterone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocortical insufficiency | Loss, to varying degrees, of adrenocortical function. Synonym: hypocorticoidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute adrenocortical insufficiency | Severe adrenocortical insufficiency when an intercurrent illness or trauma causes an increased demand for adrenocortical hormones in a patient with adrenal insufficiency due to disease or use of relatively large amounts of similar hormones as therapy; characterised by nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and frequently hyperthemia, hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia, and hypoglycaemia; can be fatal if untreated. Synonym: addisonian crisis, adrenal crisis, Bernard-Sergent syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| partial adrenocortical insufficiency | Normal basal adrenocortical function with failure of adrenocortical reserve to respond to ACTH stimulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency usually as the result of idiopathic atrophy or destruction of both adrenal glands by tuberculosis, an autoimmune process, or other diseases; characterised by fatigue, decreased blood pressure, weight loss, increased melanin pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, anorexia, and nausea or vomiting; without appropriate replacement therapy, it can progress to acute adrenocortical insufficiency. Synonym: Addison's disease, addisonian syndrome, hyposupradrenalism, morbus Addisonii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by disease, destruction, or surgical removal of the adrenal cortices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by failure of ACTH secretion resulting from anterior pituitary disease or inhibition of ACTH production resulting from exogenous steroid therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latent adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency not clinically evident but which can become severe if a sudden stress, such as an intercurrent acute illness, develops. (05 Mar 2000) |

| adrenocortical h. |
1. any of the corticosteroids elaborated by the adrenal cortex; besides the glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, this classification also includes some androgens, progesterone, and perhaps estrogens. See also corticosteroid. 2. corticosteroid.

|
| adrenocortical i. |
abnormally diminished secretion of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex. Acute adrenocortical i. is another name for addisonian crisis and primary or chronic adrenocortical i. is another name for Addison's disease. Secondary adrenocortical (or adrenal) insufficiency is any type caused by dysfunction of the pituitary or hypothalamus, with low plasma levels of cortisol and often of corticotropin. Called also hypoadrenocorticism, hypocorticalism, and hypocorticism.
