In the setting of sepsis, adrenal function can be difficult to evaluate. Cortisol levels, normally elevated by the stress of sepsis, are occasionally reduced, signifying possible adrenal dysfunction. Even elevated cortisol levels do not assure that adrenal reserve is adequate and may in fact portend a preterminal state. Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage leading to adrenal insufficiency is one complication of the sepsis syndrome. This endocrine rounds illustrates the importance in considering adrenal insufficiency and adrenal hemorrhage in patients with overwhelming sepsis while discussing the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic implications of this dire complication.
