The onset of critical illness is associated with profound changes in the endocrine system. Stress hormones, particularly the catecholamines, mediate characteristic compensatory responses which increase the probability of survival in the short term. However, adverse metabolic effects may occur when the stress response is prolonged. This article describes the hormonal response to critical illness.
