Adrenal insufficiency in prednisolone-treated patients with polymyalgia rheumatica or giant cell arteritis—prevalence and clinical approach
Abstract
Objectives Glucocorticoid treatment is fundamental in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA), but carries a risk of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency. Adrenal insufficiency can cause reluctance to stop glucocorticoid treatment after disease remission as symptoms can resemble PMR/GCA flare.
