Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates that are involved in a wide range of physiological systems such as stress response, immune response, and regulation of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, protein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior. They can be administered exogenously as medication for various conditions including autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Common adverse effects of corticosteroid medications include fluid retention, alteration in electrolyte levels, hypertension, and increased risk of infection.
