TL;DR: In this article, an evidence-based management of diabetic and endocrine emergencies in the adult population is discussed, where the authors identify and treat the most serious acute complications of diabetes and as such constitute the majority of all pancreatic endocrinopathies.
Abstract: Endocrine emergencies are group of life-threatening conditions which often remain
unrecognised despite diagnostic and therapeutic achievements of modern medicine.
Delay in making the diagnosis and initiating treatment give rise to already high mortality
rate in this group of patients. Although emergencies in endocrinology usually develop in patients
with long-standing endocrinopathies, endocrine crisis can be the first manifestation
of endocrine disease which additionally contribute to a late diagnosis. This review discusses
the evidence-based management of diabetic and endocrine emergencies in the adult population.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are two of
the most serious acute complications of diabetes and as such constitute the majority of all
endocrine emergencies. Thyroid storm, myxedema coma and adrenal crisis are less common
in everyday clinical practice. However, the failure to recognise them and to begin rapidly
the specific therapy can have fatal consequences. Giving the fact that endocrine crises
are often precipitated by an acute event, identification and treatment of underlying event is
required.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that effective clinical management of drug-induced hyponatraemia can be handled through understanding of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and awarenes of the adverse effects of certain pharmaceutical compounds on serum sodium levels.
