MedlinePlus: Your adrenal glands are just above your kidneys. the outside layer of these glands makes hormones that help your body respond to stress and regulate your blood pressure and water and salt balance. addison's disease occurs if the adrenal glands don't make enough of these hormones.
a problem with your immune system usually causes addison's disease. the immune system mistakenly attacks your own tissues, damaging your adrenal glands.
symptoms include
weight loss
muscle weakness
fatigue that gets worse over time
low blood pressure
patchy or dark skin
lab tests can confirm that you have addison's disease. if you don't treat it, it can be fatal. you will need to take hormone pills for the rest of your life. if you have addison's disease, you should carry an emergency id. it should say that you have the disease, list your medicines and say how much you need in an emergency.23
MalaCards: Addison's Disease, also known as addisons disease, is related to adrenal hypoplasia and x-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita. An important gene associated with Addison's Disease is CYP21A2 (cytochrome P450, family 21, subfamily A, polypeptide 2), and among its related pathways are Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and Steroid hormone biosynthesis. The drugs fludrocortisone and dexamethasone and the compounds glucose and doca have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include cortex, kidney and liver, and related mouse phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and respiratory system. NIH Rare Diseases: Addison's disease is a condition that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of their hormones. This condition can be caused by damage to the adrenal glands, autoimmune conditions, and certain genetic conditions. Some of the symptoms include changes in blood pressure, chronic diarrhea, darkening of the skin, paleness, extreme weakness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, salt craving, and weight loss. Treatment with replacement corticosteroids usually controls the symptoms.30 |
