Episode 28 - EXTRA Bonus Episode! Endocrinopathies III - Addisons Disease and the Addisonian Crisis

What would you do? Tell us Episode 28 – EXTRA Bonus Episode! Endocrinopathies III: Addison’s Disease & the Addisonian Crisis 🩺 Surprise — we’ve got an extra bonus episode for you! 🎙️ This time, we’re heading back into the world of endocrinopathies and tackling Addison’s disease and the Addisonian crisis. Addison’s can be one of those conditions that feels a little overwhelming when you’re faced with a vague, unwell patient in practice — so we’re breaking it down from a real-life GP vet perspective and talking through how we actually approach these cases. We cover recognising and diagnosing Addison’s disease, interpreting those all-important sodium:potassium ratios, understanding what your ACTH stimulation test is really telling you, and what to do when your patient presents in a full-blown Addisonian crisis. From fluid therapy and steroids to stabilisation, monitoring and longer-term management, we work through the practical decisions you might actually need to make in first-opinion practice — without making endocrinology feel more complicated than it needs to be. Whether you’re revising Addison’s, haven’t seen a case in years, or just want to feel a bit more confident the next time that suspicious Na ratio pops up on your bloods, this one’s for you. Another dose of practical, GP-friendly CPD from The Chatty Vets Podcast. 🐾 Interested in attending one of our new ECC CPD events?
