Core Tip	Adrenal insufficiency is present in both critically ill and stable cirrhotics and in liver transplant recipients early or later after transplantation. Due to certain difficulties in determining cortisol levels and lack of gold standard method, the incidence of adrenal failure varies and depends on each test used for assessment of adrenal function. Corticosteroid administration has not been elucidated whether it leads to beneficial outcome in critically ill cirrhotics.
