Resumo

A insuficiência adrenal secundária é uma complicação rara, mas potencialmente grave, em pacientes tratados com inibidores de mTOR, como o everolimo. Este relato apresenta o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 74 anos, com história de transplante hepático e diabetes mellitus tipo 2, que se apresentou para acompanhamento médico assintomático. Apesar da ausência de sintomas, suspeitou-se de insuficiência adrenal devido ao uso prolongado de everolimus. Foram realizados exames diagnósticos, incluindo dosagem de cortisol urinário de 24 horas, que confirmou insuficiência adrenal. Este caso destaca a importância da vigilância endócrina em pacientes imunossuprimidos, mesmo na ausência de sintomas clínicos evidentes. Além disso, destaca a necessidade de uma abordagem proativa na avaliação da função adrenal para prevenir complicações graves neste grupo de pacientes. A identificação precoce e o manejo adequado são cruciais para melhorar os resultados clínicos.
