AbstractAlthough the possibility of an endocrine emergency occurring in a primary care setting may seem remote, awareness of such emergencies is crucial for appropriate management. While some symptoms are specific to classic endocrine disorders, other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, are so general that the diagnosis may not be considered initially. In these situations, careful and thoughtful diagnostic studies can be lifesaving.
