A 30-year-old female who has had a recent pregnancy where
labour was complicated by postpartum haemorrhage had failure of lactation and
menstruation did not recommence.
She feels giddy on standing and has postural hypotension.

adrenal insufficiency.
a)
Hyperkalaemia
b)
Low sodium
c)
Hypercalcaemia
d)
Pigmentation
e)
Hypoglycaemia
Answer:

Hypoglycaemia in adrenal insufficiency is due to
glucocorticoid deficiency rather than mineralocorticoid deficiency, which is
more common in primary adrenal failure. In addition growth hormone lack in
pituitary insufficiency makes hypoglycaemia more marked.
