Addison's disease is a disorder where the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol and often aldosterone. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 people and equally affects both sexes. Primary Addison's disease is often caused by an autoimmune reaction where the immune system attacks the adrenal glands. Secondary Addison's disease can be caused by tumors, medications, genetics, or traumatic brain injury. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, weight loss, dark skin, low blood pressure, and low blood sugar. Diagnosis involves blood tests to check electrolyte and hormone levels and imaging to examine the adrenal glands. Treatment consists of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone pills to

This document discusses disorders of the adrenal gland, including Addison's disease and Conn's syndrome. It covers symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. Addison's disease is caused by insufficient production of cortisol and sometimes aldosterone by the adrenal glands. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, weight loss, and dark skin pigmentation. Treatment involves replacing the missing hormones. Conn's syndrome is caused by excessive aldosterone production, leading to hypertension. It can be diagnosed through blood and urine tests showing elevated aldosterone levels. Treatment options include surgery or medications to suppress aldosterone.

The adrenal glands secrete important hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal cortex does not produce enough of these hormones, commonly due to an autoimmune attack. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and skin darkening. Left untreated, it can cause an Addisonian crisis with circulatory shock. Treatment requires lifelong hormone replacement and management of stressors. Cushing's disease is caused by excessive cortisol secretion, often from a pituitary tumor. Symptoms include obesity, skin fragility, and metabolic changes. Diagnosis involves hormone level tests. Treatment options include surgery and medication to reduce hormone levels.

Endocrine Disorder “Addison’s Disease“.pdf
Addison's disease is a complex endocrine disorder that affects people of all ages. It occurs when the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys, do not produce enough hormones, specifically cortisol and aldosterone. This can result in a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and skin discoloration.
While the exact cause of Addison's disease is unknown, it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, meaning the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Treatment for Addison's disease typically involves hormone replacement therapy to replace the missing cortisol and aldosterone hormones.
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Addison's disease, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It will also explore the impact of this disease on daily life and offer tips for managing the condition. By increasing awareness and understanding of Addison's disease, we can help those affected by it live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Adrenal insufficiency
Adrenal insufficiency, also known as Addison's disease, is caused by destruction of the adrenal cortex leading to deficiencies in glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. It presents with non-specific symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure. Diagnosis involves low cortisol levels in response to ACTH stimulation and high ACTH levels. Treatment is lifelong glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement. An adrenal crisis can result from infection or stress and requires immediate high dose glucocorticoid treatment in addition to intravenous fluids and glucose to prevent shock.
Addison disease
Addison disease is a disorder where the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. The adrenal glands release hormones that regulate blood sugar, immune response, and stress response. Damage to the adrenal cortex can cause too low of hormone levels. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure. Treatment involves lifelong hormone replacement therapy. With proper treatment, most people can live normal lives, though complications can occur if hormone levels become too high or low.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Precision becomes a byword, most especially in such procedures as hip and knee arthroplasty. The success of these surgeries is not just dependent on the skill and experience of the surgeons but is extremely dependent on preoperative planning.

- 1. ADDISON’S DISEASE PRESENTED BY: PROF.VIJAYREDDY.B.V PhD (N) Scholar, M.Sc (N),PGDHA,PGCDE,. Dept of MSN, INDIA.
- 2. DEFINITION • Addison's disease, also called adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon disorder that occurs when body doesn't produce enough of certain hormones. In Addison's disease, adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and, often, too little aldosterone
- 3. INCIDENCE • Addison's disease occurs : All age groups Both sexes can be life-threatening.
- 4. CONTD… • In the United States, Addison’s disease affects 1 in 100,000 people. • It occurs in both men and women equally and in all age groups, • But is most common in the 30-50 year-old age range.
- 5. CAUSES: PRIMARY • In an autoimmune disease, your body’s immune system mistakes any organ or area of the body for a virus, bacteria, or another outside invader. • Other causes of primary adrenal insufficiency include: • prolonged administration of glucocorticoids (e.g. prednisone) • infections in your body • cancer and abnormal growths (tumors) • certain blood thinners used to control clotting in the blood
- 6. SECONDARY • There are also many other causes of secondary adrenal insufficiency, including: • tumors • medications • genetics • traumatic brain injury
- 7. RISK FACTORS • Cancer • Take anticoagulants (blood thinners) • Have chronic infections like tuberculosis • Had surgery to remove any part of your adrenal gland • Have an autoimmune disease, like type 1 diabetes or Graves’ disease
- 8. SYMPTOMS • Extreme fatigue • Weight loss and decreased appetite • Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation) • Low blood pressure, even fainting • Salt craving • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) • Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting (gastrointestinal symptoms) • Abdominal pain • Muscle or joint pains • Irritability • Depression or other behavioral symptoms • Body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women
- 9. DIAGNOSIS • Complete history collection & Physical examination: perform a physical exam. Dark patches on your skin might be a clue for your doctor to consider testing for Addison’s disease. • Assess serum electrolyte levels : potassium and sodium levels. • Blood tests: These will be done to measure the levels of sodium, potassium, cortisol and ACTH in your blood. • ACTH stimulation test: This tests the adrenal glands’ response after you are given a shot of artificial ACTH. If the adrenal glands produce low levels of cortisol after the shot, they may not be functioning properly. • X-rays: These may be done to look for calcium deposits on the adrenal glands.
- 10. CONTD…. • Computed tomography (CT scan): Computed tomography uses computers to combine many X-ray images into cross- sectional views. A CT scan might be done to evaluate the adrenals and/or pituitary gland. For example, it can show if the immune system has damaged the adrenal glands or if the glands are infected.
- 11. Addisonian crisis causes: • low blood pressure, • high potassium in the blood, and • low blood sugar levels.
- 12. TREATMENT • Hydrocortisone pills to replace cortisol. • If patient also lacking aldosterone, fludrocortisones acetate pills will be provided. • If patient are taking fludrocortisones, need to increase salt intake, especially in hot and humid weather and after exercise. • In emergencies and during surgery, the medicine is given intravenously (directly into a vein).
