(HS Langlois 078941 2025) Adrenal Gland Disorders: Mastering Current Treatment and Understanding Future Trends

Course overview

Adrenal dysfunction can be classified into primary and secondary forms. Primary adrenal insufficiency, also known as Addison's disease, occurs when the adrenal glands themselves are damaged and unable to produce sufficient hormones. Secondary adrenal insufficiency, on the other hand, results from a deficiency of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which stimulates the adrenal glands to product cortisol. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for adrenal dysfunction is essential for healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers. Throughout this presentation, Dr. Langois will provide a comprehensive look at adrenal dysfunction, its impact on overall health, and the latest advancements in diagnosis and management, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life. Numerous case studies will be used throughout this presentation to highlight key takeaways.
