Replacement therapy

Question 1

Addison’s Disease (ADRENALECTOMY)

Answer 1

Low cortisol (glucocorticoid) 
Low aldosterone (mineralocorticoid) 
Treatment = Hydrocortisone + Fludrocortisone

Question 2

Hypopituitarism

Answer 2

Pituitary gland doesn’t stimulate hormone secretion by target glands
Treatment = Hydrocortisone (NOT fludrocortisone as renin-angiotensin system will regulate aldosterone) and replacement hormones e.g. levothyroxine, sex hormones
