Coronary artery disease in a patient with Addison's disease: a case report and literature review. Addison's disease which is due to dysfunction of the adrenal gland, with abnormal secretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, is rare. By inducing inflammation and disorders of water and electrolyte metabolism, Addison's disease may accelerate progression of co-existed cardiovascular diseases. Addison's disease combined with cardiovascular disease is infrequent, only 10 cases in the literature. We reported a 51-year-old male patient with unstable angina pectoris and hypotension. Changes on coronary angiography within 2 years suggested rapid progression of coronary artery disease in a patient with low cardiovascular risk. An additional clue of skin hyperpigmentation, fatigue

Replication of association at the LPP and UBASH3A loci in a UK autoimmune Addison's disease cohort. Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) arises from a complex interplay between multiple genetic susceptibility polymorphisms and environmental factors. The first genome wide association study (GWAS) with patients from Scandinavian Addison's registries has identified association signals at four novel

Relation between HLA and copy number variation of steroid 21-hydroxylase in a Swedish cohort of patients with autoimmune Addison's disease. Autoantibodies against the adrenal enzyme 21-hydroxylase is a hallmark manifestation in autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). Steroid 21-hydroxylase is encoded by CYP21A2, which is located in the HLA region together with the highly similar pseudogene CYP21A1P

Self-management and hospitalization in 615 Swedish patients with Addison's disease during the COVID-19 pandemic - a retrospective study. Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) entails a chronic adrenal insufficiency and is associated with an increased risk of severe infections. It is, however, unknown how patients with AAD were affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020

Increased resting-state functional connectivity in patients with autoimmune Addison's disease. Individuals with autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) take replacement medication for the lack of adrenal-derived glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones from diagnosis. The brain is highly sensitive to these hormones, but the consequence of having AAD for brain health has not been widely addressed

Altered biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and inflammation in autoimmune Addison's disease - a cross-sectional study. Increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease has been reported in autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD), but pathomechanisms are poorly understood. Cross-sectional study. We compared serum levels of 177 cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers in 43 patients with AAD at > 18

Repeatability assessment of sodium ((23)Na) MRI at 7.0 T in healthy human calf muscle and preliminary results on tissue sodium concentrations in subjects with Addison's disease. To determine the relaxation times of the sodium nucleus, and to investigate the repeatability of quantitative, in vivo TSC measurements using sodium magnetic resonance imaging (Na-MRI) in human skeletal muscle and explore the discriminatory value of the method by comparing TSCs between healthy subjects and patients with Addison's disease. In this prospective study, ten healthy subjects and five patients with Addison's disease were involved. Na-MRI data sets were acquired using a density-adapted, three-dimensional radial projection reconstruction pulse sequence (DA-3DPR) with a modification for the relaxation

Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders in Autoimmune Addison Disease. Autoimmune thyroid disease is the most common endocrine comorbidity in autoimmune Addison disease (AAD), but detailed investigations of prevalence and clinical course are lacking. This work aimed to provide comprehensive epidemiological and clinical data on autoimmune thyroid disorders in AAD. A nationwide registry-based study including

The genetics of autoimmune Addison disease: past, present and future. Autoimmune Addison disease is an endocrinopathy that is fatal if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. Its rarity has hampered unbiased studies of the predisposing genetic factors. A 2021 genome-wide association study, explaining up to 40% of the genetic susceptibility, has revealed new disease loci and reproduced some of the previously reported associations, while failing to reproduce others. Credible risk loci from both candidate gene and genome-wide studies indicate that, like one of its most common comorbidities, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Addison disease is primarily caused by aberrant T cell behaviour. Here, we review the current understanding of the genetics of autoimmune Addison disease and its position in the wider

Addison's disease triggered by infection with mycobacterium abscessus, but not by adrenal tuberculosis or MAC pulmonary disease, in a subject with type 2 diabetes mellitus: case report. Addison's disease is primary adrenal dysfunction and is characterized by decrease of cortisol level and increase of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level. It is known that infection is one of main causes of Addison's disease. Among various infections, tuberculous infection accounts for the majority of them. Recently the number of subjects with non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection has been increased, and the infection can also bring about Addison's disease. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease accounts for the majority of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection. An 83-year-old female

Improved Urinary Cortisol Metabolome in Addison Disease: A Prospective Trial of Dual-Release Hydrocortisone. Oral once-daily dual-release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) replacement therapy has demonstrated an improved metabolic profile compared to conventional 3-times-daily (TID-HC) therapy among patients with primary adrenal insufficiency. This effect might be related to a more physiological cortisol

Addison's Disease LABORATORY ENDOCRINE TESTING: ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY (ADDISON’S DISEASE) Clinical Practice Guideline | January 2008 These recommendations are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. They should be used as an adjunct to sound clinical decision making. OBJECTIVE Clinicians in Alberta provide urgent referral to an endocrinologist and optimize laboratory tests for investigation of adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) TARGET POPULATION Children and adults with signs or symptoms of primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) EXCLUSIONS None RECOMMENDATIONS  Request URGENT CONSULTATION with an endocrinologist  Order a synthetic

Renal involvement in adrenal insufficiency (Addison disease): can we always recognize it? Addison disease is due to the destruction or dysfunction of the entire adrenal cortex. Nowadays, the causes of adrenal insufficiency are autoimmune disease for 70-90% and tuberculosis for 7-20%. Many typical signs and symptoms, such as hyponatremia, hyperkalaemia, or renal insufficiency can represent

Residual Corticosteroid Production in Autoimmune Addison Disease. Contrary to current dogma, growing evidence suggests that some patients with autoimmune Addison disease (AAD) produce corticosteroids even years after diagnosis. To determine frequencies and clinical features of residual corticosteroid production in patients with AAD. Two-staged, cross-sectional clinical study in 17 centers

Natural History of Adrenal Steroidogenesis in Autoimmune Addison's Disease Following Diagnosis and Treatment. The natural history of adrenal function in autoimmune Addison disease once diagnosed and treated has not been systematically studied, but several case reports of recovery from established adrenal failure suggest it may not be uniform. To ascertain steroidogenic function in autoimmune Addison disease immediately following diagnosis and during prolonged treatment. We studied peak serum cortisol in response to ACTH1-24 in 20 newly diagnosed autoimmune Addison disease patients at first presentation and then again within a month. We also studied 37 patients with established Addison disease (for between 7 months and 44 years) in a medication-free state, measuring peak serum cortisol

Residual Adrenal Function in Autoimmune Addison's Disease-Effect of Dual Therapy With Rituximab and Depot Tetracosactide. In autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD), exogenous glucocorticoid (GC) therapy is an imperfect substitute for physiological GC secretion. Patients on long-term steroid replacement have increased morbidity, reduced life expectancy, and poorer quality of life. The objective
