Abstract

The terms 'adrenal asthenia', 'adrenal fatigue' and 'adrenal burnout', sometimes used in lay language, are not a part of the medical or endocrine lexicon. In this opinion piece, we explore the relevance of adrenal asthenia and describe how it can be used in different clinical situations, with varying connotations. Adrenal asthenia may refer to adrenocortical insufficiency, increased parasympathetic or reduced adrenergic tone, or fatigue due to excessive and continuous exposure to stress. It may be mediated by hypoglycaemia or dyselectrolytaemia. The term adrenal asthenia has important clinical and public health advantages.

肾上腺衰弱。

术语“肾上腺衰弱”、“肾上腺疲劳”和“肾上腺倦怠”，有时在外行语言中使用，不是医学或内分泌词典的一部分。在这篇观点文章中，我们探讨了肾上腺衰弱的相关性，并描述了它如何在不同的临床情况下使用，具有不同的内涵。肾上腺衰弱可能是指肾上腺皮质功能不全，副交感神经增强或肾上腺素能张力降低，或由于过度和持续暴露于压力而疲劳。它可能是由低血糖或电解质失调介导的。肾上腺衰弱一词具有重要的临床和公共卫生优势。
