the answer is hyponatremia. cortisol gives the feedback control to ADH. so when cortisol is decreased, there is more ADH that results in hyponatremia. Hyperkalemia is an enticing choice but since aldosterone is normal in secondary adrenal deficiency, it is not a good answer as hyponatremia. however there is hypokalemia in cortisol excess due to mineralocorticoid action.
