Endocrine emergencies are frequently encountered in the intensive care unit. This chapter will focus on several common disorders including diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, thyroid storm, myxedema coma, and vasopressin deficiency. Adrenal insufficiency is addressed elsewhere in this volume. Understanding the pathophysiology of these different states will enable the intensivist to make a rapid diagnosis, initiate appropriate therapy, and avoid major pitfalls.
