Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease as well as its severity.
An early diagnosis can be treated by hormone replacement therapy in the form of prescription corticosteroids, either taken orally, or by injection if necessary.
However, if acute adrenal failure (Addisonian crisis) occurs, other treatment is urgently needed, including intravenous injections of:
- Hydrocortisone
- Saline solution
- Sugar (dextrose)
