Aug 29, 2024

The publication of new NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines – “Adrenal insufficiency: identification and management” marks a significant advancement in the management and treatment of primary, secondary and tertiary adrenal insufficiency.

These guidelines provide updated, evidence-based recommendations designed to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care for individuals with adrenal insufficiency.

By setting clear standards, the new guidelines aim to enhance patient outcomes, ensure timely interventions, and reduce assoicated risks – including that of adrenal crisis.
