Jul 20th, 2021 - Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is characterized by the inability of the adrenal cortex to produce sufficient amounts of glucocorticoids and/or mineralocorticoids. Addison's disease (AD) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are the most fr...

Jul 4th, 2021 - Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in the AIRE gene with both endocrine and non-endocrine organ involvement. The existing data from China are limited, and this study aims to describe the phe...

Jun 16th, 2021 - Most patients with congenital adrenal hypoplasia (AHC) develop symptoms during infantile and juvenile periods, with varying clinical manifestations. AHC is a disease that is easily misdiagnosed as Addison's disease or congenital adrenal hyperplasi...

May 18th, 2021 - Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare recessive inherited disease, caused by AutoImmune Regulator (AIRE) gene mutations and characterized by three major manifestations: chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), chronic hypopara...

Jul 1st, 2017 - The investigators have shown that patients with adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), a rare disorder, have doubled the expected mortality rate in Sweden despite Standard of Care glucocorticoid (GC) replacement. One % of the Swedish populatio...

Jan 31st, 2017 - The conventional glucocorticoid replacement therapy in primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) renders the cortisol levels unphysiological, which may cause symptoms and long-term complications. The majority of Addison's patients have oth...

Mar 19th, 2013 - Addison's disease is a rare condition which in most cases is caused by autoimmune destruction of the adrenals, leading to deficiency of cortisol, aldosterone and adrenal androgens. Unrecognized the disease is life threatening, but with proper trea...

Feb 5th, 2013 - Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) is a rare and debilitating disease in which an autoimmune attack progressively destroys the adrenal cortex. Untreated it is universally fatal and treated people are absolutely dependent upon steroid medications l...

May 25th, 2020 - Hyperkalemia—serum potassium greater than approximately 5.0-5.5 mEq/L in adults—is associated with kidney disease, a diet high in potassium, and drugs that impair renal potassium excretion. It can also appear in infants or children with certain ge...
