AB  - Signs  and  symptoms  of  adrenal  insufficiency  are  listed  in  Table  534-1.  Most  patients  with  chronic  adrenal  insufficiency  have  weakness,  fatigue,  anorexia,  weight  loss,  hypotension,  and  hyperpigmentation.  Patients  with  acute  adrenal  insufficiency  may  have  hypotension,  shock,  weakness,  apathy,  confusion,  anorexia,  nausea,  vomiting,  dehydration,  abdominal  or  flank  pain,  hyperthermia,  and  hypoglycemia.  Deficient  adrenal  androgen  secretion  will  compromise  the  acquisition  of  virilizing  secondary  sexual  characteristics  (pubic  and  axillary  hair,  acne,  axillary  odor)  in  female  adolescents.
