Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 can lead to serious complications such as adrenal insufficiency due to adrenal hemorrhage, particularly in patients with conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Acute adrenal hemorrhage is often overlooked but can contribute significantly to severe illness, multi-organ failure, and even death.
- Recognizing adrenal insufficiency quickly is crucial since there may be a delay between the onset of hemorrhage and the onset of failure, necessitating careful monitoring and prompt treatment.
Objective: Hypercalcemia is sometimes observed in patients with cirrhosis, but very little is known about the epidemiology in patients with hypercalcemia of chronic liver disease (HCLD) or how its presence may modulate the overall mortality risk. We assessed the associations between the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with HCLD with 90-day mortality.
Methods: A systematic search of the medical records at our institution over a 10-year period was performed to retrospectively identify subjects with HCLD during inpatient admission.
