High-Yield Explanation
(Ref: KDT 6/e p283) Coicosteroids are used for the management of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Coicosteroids can result in hyperglycemia and thus may vitigate the control of blood glucose in diabetics. Due to retention of Na+ and water, coicosteroids can worsen the hypeension. By inhibiting the production of gastroprotective prostaglandins, coicosteroids increase the risk of peptic ulcer disease.
