Particularly in iatrogenic hypopituitarism, both hypothalamus and pituitary are affected, and no effort is made to determine the site(s) of dysfunction. 1 summarizes causes of secondary adrenal insufficiency. By far the most common cause of secondary adrenal insufficiency is abrupt cessation of long-term glucocorticoid replacement. Therapy with glucocorticoids above the physiologic daily production rate leads to suppression of the central drive of the HPA axis, mirrored in reduced hypothalamic release of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), atrophy of ACTH-producing cells in the pituitary, and resultant involution of the adrenal zona fasciculata and zona reticularis.
