Sudden Death

Sudden unexpected death (SUD) refers to the sudden (usually occurs within 24 h from the onset of the initial symptoms) and unexpected (not caused by obvious reasons like trauma, poisoning, violent asphyxia, etc.) death of a person. It may be the result of one or several serious underlying diseases, while the initial symptoms may be totally different from the common manifestations of those diseases. Disorders of many endocrine organs can cause SUD, and some of these conditions are reviewed in this article.
