The Adrenocortical Response to Critical Illness

The CRH-ACTH-Cortisol Axis

  • Chapter
Endocrinology of Critical Disease

Part of the book series: Contemporary Endocrinology ((COE,volume 4))

Abstract

The maintenance of normal, coordinated physiologic functioning of various organ systems of the body is the primary role of the endocrine system (1). Although the endocrine response to many forms of stress is relatively uniform, it is nevertheless complicated and comprehensive in scope. The adrenal cortex is a critical player in the endocrine response to major stress. Cortisol, the primary glucocorticoid secreted from the human adrenal gland, has long been recognized as a requirement for survival in critical illness. Although the physiologic effects of cortisol are widespread and complex, it may be reasonable to summarize its role in critical illness by stating that it prevents an overexuberant response of the potentially self-destructive immune system (2).
