What Is Addisons Disease?
Addison's Disease is a chronic endocrine disorder marked by insufficient production of cortisol and aldosterone by the adrenal glands. It can cause dangerous electrolyte imbalances, low blood pressure, and debilitating fatigue that affect daily functioning. With the right hormone replacement therapy and ongoing monitoring, most people with Addison's Disease can lead full and active lives.
- Addison's Disease results from damage to the adrenal cortex, most often due to an autoimmune process, leading to deficiency of cortisol and aldosterone.

Our licensed physicians review your history, current medications, and lab findings to support a safe and effective treatment plan.
Because Addison's Disease affects the adrenal glands and can involve both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiencies, a complete medical history including any prior adrenal crisis, autoimmune conditions, or related endocrine disorders is essential for safe care.

Frequently asked questions
Addison's Disease, also called primary adrenal insufficiency, is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol and, in many cases, not enough aldosterone. It is most commonly caused by an autoimmune attack on the adrenal cortex.
Common symptoms include chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss, low blood pressure, salt cravings, nausea, darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation), and dizziness when standing. Symptoms often develop slowly and can be easy to miss at first.
An adrenal crisis is a life-threatening emergency that can occur when cortisol levels drop severely, often triggered by illness, injury, or missed medication. Symptoms include sudden severe weakness, vomiting, low blood pressure, and confusion. It requires immediate emergency medical care with intravenous hydrocortisone and fluids.
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests checking cortisol, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), sodium, and potassium levels, followed by an ACTH stimulation test to confirm that the adrenal glands are not responding normally. Imaging of the adrenal glands may also be ordered.
Most people with Addison's Disease take daily oral hydrocortisone or another glucocorticoid to replace cortisol, and often fludrocortisone to replace aldosterone. Doses typically need to be increased during illness, surgery, or significant stress, a process called sick-day dosing or stress dosing.
There is no cure for autoimmune Addison's Disease. It is a lifelong condition requiring ongoing hormone replacement. However, with consistent treatment and monitoring, the vast majority of people manage their condition well and maintain good quality of life.
