Preventing and managing adrenal crises is complex and current strategies have not been successful in achieving a reduction in the incidence of episodes. Treatment with intravenous hydrocortisone is life saving and should be given without delay to patients displaying signs of acute adrenal insufficiency and adrenal crises.
