Abstract

In patients receiving chronic corticosteroid therapy, the adrenocortical function has decreased because of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Under such a condition, it is easy to fall into a serious acute adrenocortical insufficiency during surgical stress. Corticosteroid supplementation is done as prevention of adrenocortical insufficiency. It is changing from corticosteroid supplementation of high dose into that of low dose that based on extrapolation from what constitutes a normal cortisol response to stress in recent years. On the other hand, some authors reported that patients receiving therapeutic doses of corticosteroids who undergo a surgical procedure do not routinely require corticosteroid supplementation so long as they continue to receive their usual daily dose of corticosteroid. Therefore, furthermore investigation should be necessary.
