Abstract Background: Adrenal disorders is rare life-threatening conditions needed high awareness for earlier diagnosis. The aim of this study is to see the pattern and spectrum of adrenal disorders in Southern Iraq. Methods: Retrospective electronic database analysis of Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolism Center (FDEMC) in Basrah, the largest tertiary referring Center in the Southern Iraq. Only adults 18 years and above analysed. Results: The total referred patients for presumed adrenal disorders were 5064(6%) of 83473 new patients seen over 11 years for the period of August 2008 to August 2019.The commonest adrenal disease were due to glucocorticoids misuse in 2407/5064 (47.5%),followed by adrenal endocrine hypertension in 883/5064 (17.4%),than adrenal insufficiency in 340/5064 (6.7%), hirsutism in 264/5064 (5.2%), hypopituitarism 85/5064 (1.6%) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia in 78/5064 (1.5%).Rare causes of adrenal disorder were primary aldosteronism in 30/5064 (0.5%), Addison disease in 26/5064 (0.5%), pheochromocytoma in 19/5064 (0.4%), autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes in 19/5064 (0.4%), ACTH independent Cushing syndrome in 17(0.3%), ACTH dependent Cushing syndrome in 4(0.07%), subclinical Cushing syndrome in 4(0.07%), ectopic ACTH syndrome in 1(0.01%), adrenal cyst in 9(0.1%), adrenal myelolipoma in 5(0.09%), adrenocortical carcinoma in 3(0.05%),and paraganglioma in 2(0.04%).One of the paraganglioma were secretory. Patients characteristics for those with glucocorticoids misuse showed that female forming the bulk of cases in 1708/2407 (70.9%), and mean age of 39.5±12.3 years. Urban constitutes 1306/2407 (54.3%),and 629/2407 (26.1%) were illiterates. There were 706/2407 (29.3%) with established type 2 diabetes mellitus(with all the risks of loss of glycemic control) and glucocorticoids misuse causes 105/2407 (4.3%) incident diabetes. Conclusion: Glucocorticoids misuse constituted the bulk of referral for adrenal disorders in Basrah. A lot of work needed to reduce the prevalence of this new high-risk iatrogenic disease.
