Endocrine Emergencies

Endocrine emergencies are urgent medical situations related to hormone imbalances in the body. They can arise from conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or adrenal gland issues. Common emergencies include severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), high blood sugar (hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis), thyroid storms, or adrenal crisis. These conditions can lead to serious symptoms such as confusion, weakness, or even loss of consciousness. Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to stabilize hormone levels and prevent complications, making quick medical attention essential.
