Abstract
Objectives: Primary adrenal insufficiency AI is regarded as a progressive disease needing lifelong replacement therapy, but this may not always be the case. Material and methods: A non-acute presentation of AI following a hypotensive episode caused by blood loss was investigated. Results: Adrenal function fully recovered without treatment. Conclusions: There should be a high index of suspicion and a low threshold for performing tests of adrenal function in survivors of critical illness and severe hypotensive episodes.
