Adrenal insufficiency following unilateral radical nephrectomy has not been previously described in medical literature. We present a 78-year-old male patient who experienced a difficult postoperative course with vague findings, and was ultimately diagnosed with acute adrenal insufficiency. Treatment with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids resulted in prompt control of the disease.
单侧根治性肾切除术后出现肾上腺功能不全在医学文献中此前尚无描述。我们报告一名78岁男性患者，其术后病程艰难，症状不明确，最终被诊断为急性肾上腺功能不全。使用糖皮质激素和盐皮质激素治疗后病情迅速得到控制。
