Q: Mineralocorticoid administration is mandatory in 'Adrenal crisis' along with Hydrocortisone/Dexamethasone? (Select one)

A) Yes
B) No


Answer: B

In Adrenal Crisis, after ABC (airway, breathing, and circulation), need is to take care of hypovolemia, hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance. Hydrocortisone/Dexamethasone is mandatory but fludrocortisone (mineralocorticoid) though desirable is not mandatory. But, it should be added after the crisis is over.
