Background Addison's disease is a rare disorder that is caused by failure of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is important in producing steroids, both corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids. If the adrenal gland does not produce these hormones, the loss leads to devastating effects in nearly every organ system, and eventually death. Patients may first experience weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin. Some critical functions of the steroids include maintainence of blood pressure, regulation of insulin, and regulation of the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats OUTLINE Epidemiology Disease Associations Laboratory/Radiologic/Other Diagnostic Testing Gross Appearance and Clinical Variants ...

The cause is unknown, but in most cases, there appears to be an immune mediated destruction of the adrenal gland. Symptoms include inappetance, vomiting, lethargy and weakness. An ACTH stimulation test can be used for diagnosis. The test is an evaluation of the ability of the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol. Affected dogs show low cortisol concentrations, and no increase in cortisol following the ACTH test. Treatment includes fluid therapy, replacement of glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids, and hormone therapy.

In plain English, Addison's disease is when the adrenal glands do not produce enough corticosteroid hormones needed by the body for various body mechanisms such as regulating salt and water loss, and the breaking down of fats, proteins and carbs. It is said that 1 out of 40000 people have the disease. On a personal note, I know two people that have it so... Cause It is said that the disease maybe onset by the body's weird behavior of attacking its own adrenal glands, and 4 out of 5 people develop the disease due to this method. Other causes include; cancer, sudden drop in blood pressure, TB and HIV. Symptoms Due to the trouble that your body can come up against when dealing with imbalanced hormone levels, there are a wealth of symptoms associated with this disease: - weakness - loss of appetite - vomiting - abdominal pain - falling blood pressure - elavated potassium levels - falling sodium blood levels - change in skin pigmentation on various parts of the body.

Common names or abbreviations: Addison's Disease (AD), common name Hypoadrenocorticism, commonly used scientific name Adrenal insufficiency Adrenocortical Hypofunction are less commonly used terms. Description or definition: The adrenal gland , one on each kidney, is made up of two layers, the cortex and the medulla. The outer area, or cortex, secretes corticosteroid hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. The medulla, part of the sympathetic nervous system, secretes epinephrine (adrenaline), which is generally not affected by AD. Addison's disease is the insufficient production and secretion of hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and androgens) by the adrenal gland cortex. In this disorder, the adrenal gland fails to produce enough of a steroid hormone called aldosterone . This hormone is very important in maintaining a normal balance of minerals in the blood. This is a disease that if left untreated, leads to death. It is believed that many of the features of canine AD resemble those in humans, which is immune-mediated destruction of the adrenal cortices. (Autoimmunity is a misdirected immune response, in which the body's defenses become self-destructive. Autoimmunity may result from a combination of factors such as: genetic predisposition, hormonal factors and environmental triggers such as viral infections and vaccinations.)

A B C D ... W ADDISONS DISEASE (ADRENO-CORTICAL INSUFFICIENCY) What is Addison's Disease ? How does Addison's Disease occur ? Usually the condition is due to a process of self-destruction called auto-immune disease : cells called lymphocytes develop the ability to destroy otherwise healthy adrenal cells. Occasionally, tuberculosis or some other inflammation or infection can be responsible for damaging the adrenal glands. Surgical removal of both adrenal glands (adrenalectomy) is sometimes required for other conditions, and will produce the same need for treatment. Why does Addison's Disease occur ? The tendency to develop the more common auto-immune type of Addison's disease is often inherited: in fact, other glands (particularly the thyroid) may be similarly affected, either in you or in one of your close relatives. Treatment Involved for Addison's Disease The missing hormones need to be taken lifelong. Hydrocortisone (cortisol) is the most often used replacement steroid, usually in doses of 15 to 30 milligrams per day. Normally the tablets are taken as two or ideally three doses each day. These must be taken on a regular daily basis and not left off for even one day. The salt control hormone used to replace the deficiency of aldosterone is a drug called fludrocortisone. This is usually given in doses of 50 to 200 micrograms a day. During Treatment for Addison's Disease Fludrocortisone is given day after day without change in dose unless advised by the doctor. However, you may sometimes make the decision to take cortisol in increased dosage (but never reduced). Reasons for increasing the dose include emotional stress, accidents, infections (particularly those causing a fever), and other illness. The reason for raising the dose is to try to copy what normal adrenal glands would do under these circumstances.

It is a disease that results from the reduction in corticosteroid Glucocorticoids and Mineralocorticoids The adrenal gland produces both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids such as cortisol have an effect on sugar, fat, and protein metabolism. They are partially responsible for the reaction known as fight or flight response during stressful periods. Mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone have an influence on the electrolytes sodium and potassium in the body. They help regulate these electrolytes particularly in stressful situations. When the adrenal glands stop functioning, these hormones are not produced and the metabolism and electrolyte balance of the animal gets out of whack creating the symptoms and complications of Addison's disease.

Quizzes A - Z Encyclopedia Understanding Addison's Disease the Basics Symptoms Treatments the Basics What Is Addison's Disease? Your body is a finely tuned machine. One way it keeps itself in balance is by using chemical messengers called hormones to regulate various functions. Just above each of your kidneys is a small adrenal gland. These glands make some of the hormones your body needs. When they don't make enough of these hormones, Addison's disease is the result. Addison's disease is a rare condition. Only one in 100,000 people has it. It can happen at any age to either men or women at an equal rate. People with Addison's disease can lead normal lives as long as they take their medication. President John F. Kennedy had the condition. In Addison's disease, the adrenal glands don't make enough of a hormone called cortisol, or less often, a related hormone called aldosterone. That's why doctors sometimes call the illness chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. Cortisol's most important function is to help the body respond to stress. It also helps regulate your body's use of protein, carbohydrates and fat; helps maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function; and control inflammation. Aldosterone helps your kidneys regulate the amount of salt and water in your body the main way you keep your blood pressure under control. When aldosterone levels drop too low, your kidneys cannot keep your salt and water levels in balance. This makes your blood pressure drop.

Contact Information Addison's Disease Introduction Addison's disease (also called as Hypoadrenocortisim) is caused by a lower than normal production of steroid (corticosteroids) hormones (Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid) by the adrenal glands in the body. This disease was first identified by Dr Tomas Addison in 1885. The two adrenal glands present atop each of the two kidneys, are responsible for secreting hormones which affect virtually every organ and tissue system of our body. Addison's affects both men and women and has serious life-threatening complications if left untreated. Though children are affected, a majority of affected persons are in the 3rd to 5th decades of life. Symptoms The symptoms of Addison's disease develop slowly over a period of time and the patient may show some or all of these symptoms: Fatigue which grows worse over a period of time.

Treatment and Prevention Addison's Disease Adrenal Insufficiency · Hypocortisolism · Primary Adrenal Insufficiency The Facts Addison's disease, also know as primary adrenal insufficiency, is a rare condition that affects the body's hormonal activity. It is named after Dr. Thomas Addison, who discovered it in 1849. Addison's disease occurs when the body is not able to make enough of the hormones cortisol and/or aldosterone. Each hormone works differently within the body. If either hormone is not present in sufficient amounts, there is an effect on many body systems. Blood pressure, the immune system, metabolism, sexual function, and insulin levels are just some of the body's duties that these hormones affect on a daily basis. Causes Addison's disease, also know as primary adrenal insufficiency, is caused by a problem within the adrenal glands themselves.
