Treatment
If the cause is exogenous cortisol: If the cause is long-term use of glucocorticoid hormones to treat another disorder, the doctor will gradually reduce the dosage to the lowest dose adequate for control of that disorder. Then, the daily dose of glucocorticoid hormones may be doubled but given on alternate days to lessen side effects.
Treat high blood sugar aggressively with diet, medications taken by mouth, or insulin. Treat high cholesterol with diet or medications. If you will be on steroids for longer than 4 - 6 weeks, you may need to take medication to prevent bone loss (calcium, vitamin D, or bisphosphonates, such as alendronate or risedronate). This may reduce the risk of fractures if you develop osteoporosis
Prognosis
Slowly tapering off the drug that is causing the condition can help reverse the effects of adrenal gland shrinkage (atrophy), although this may take as long as a year. During this time, you may need to restart or increase the dosage of your steroids in times of stress or illness
Kelebihan glukokortikoid dapat menghambat proses metabolisme protein dan karbohidrat. Glukokortikoid mempunyai efek katabolik dan antianabolik pada protein, menyebabkan menurunnya kemampuan sel-sel pembentuk protein untuk mensistesis protein, sebagai akibatnya terjadi kehilangan protein pada jaringan seperti kulit, otot, pembuluh darah, dan tulang
