[Therapy of endocrine diseases in childhood and adolescence. 6: Endocrinologic emergencies in pediatrics].
Endocrinological emergencies in childhood include tetany - also in the form of epileptiform seizures - and Addisonian crisis. Acute tetany is treated by the administration of calcium, with subsequent calcitriol given as an adjunct. An Addisonian crisis or similar salt-loss crisis in the adrenogenital syndrome requires the administration of salt-containing solutions, replacement of gluco- and mineralocorticoids and the balancing of the acid-base household.
