Abstract
Pituitary adenoma is a tumor that can cause hormonal secretion problems, including hypocortisolism. Hypocortisolism may result in negative impacts such as an increase in proinflammatory cytokine and immune system activation. Hypocortisolism therapy is performed by giving high-dose hydrocortisone. This case report presented a hypocortisolism therapy using hydrocortisone in a patient with pituitary adenoma.
