ABSTRACT
Hypothyroidism is a common condition that can have serious consequences if left untreated. Adrenal insufficiency, on the other hand, is a rare condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated. Early initiation of treatment with L-thyroxine and hydrocortisone supplementation helps restore quality of life by eliminating the risks associated with these deficiencies. Managing this type of hormonal imbalance in patients with short bowel syndrome is a rare situation, and there are few clear guidelines regarding its treatment.
