Auto-immune disease (Type 1 PGA Poly-glandular Autoimmune Syndrome) of the adrenals with destruction of the adrenal parenchyma<br />2. Tuberculosis of the adrenal glands<br />3. Adrenal tumors that may be benign or malignant<br />4. Rare causes are hemorrhage, infarction, and infiltrative diseases<br />The increased pigmentation especially in areas not exposed to the sun (such as buccal mucosa and palmar creases) and loss of weight can suggest the diagnosis of Addison Disease<br />This is due to excess pituitary production of ACTH which has melanocytes producing properties.<br />There is also sparse growth of axillary and pubic hairs.<br />Electrolytes especially sodium is low, potassium and urea nitrogen is high<br />ACTH stimulation test with impaired corticoid response is required to confirm diagnosis<br />Plasma cortisol is low (< 3mcg/dL) and do not rise with ACTH stimulation<br />Addison crisis is treated by intravenous normal saline and hydrocortisone 100mg every eight hours<br />Treatment must be done before laboratory confirmation of diagnosis because of the danger of coma<br />Chronic Addison disease requires replacement of glucocorticosteroids:<br />Hydrocortisone 30mg daily (two thirds in the morning, one third in the evening)<br />Cortisone acetate 37.5 mg daily or<br />Fludrocortisones 0.05 to 0.2 mg daily<br />DHEA 50mg orally in the morning<br />Adequate salt intake is important for normal fluid and electrolyte balance.<br />Addison crisis patients have excellent recovery with appropriate treatment<br />Chronic Addison disease patients also recovered well with replacement therapy.<br />Care is needed when there is trauma, infection and surgery</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Addison Disease<br />Chapter 2 Interesting Facts about Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 3 Treatment of Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 4 Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 5 Adrenal Tumors<br />Chapter 6 Adrenal Crisis<br />Chapter 7 Cushing Syndrome<br />Epilogue</p>...(*_*)9781370042081_<p>Addison Disease is a disease that is caused by the deficiency of circulating glucocorticosteroids and mineral corticoids (aldosterone) hormones as a result of disease of the adrenal glands.<br />The causes of Addison Disease are:</p><ol><li>Auto-immune disease (Type 1 PGA Poly-glandular Autoimmune Syndrome) of the adrenals with destruction of the adrenal parenchyma</li><li>Tuberculosis of the adrenal glands</li><li>Adrenal tumors that may be benign or malignant</li><li>Rare causes are hemorrhage, infarction, and infiltrative diseases<br />The increased pigmentation especially in areas not exposed to the sun (such as buccal mucosa and palmar creases) and loss of weight can suggest the diagnosis of Addison Disease<br />This is due to excess pituitary production of ACTH which has melanocytes producing properties.<br />There is also sparse growth of axillary and pubic hairs.<br />Electrolytes especially sodium is low, potassium and urea nitrogen is high<br />ACTH stimulation test with impaired corticoid response is required to confirm diagnosis<br />Plasma cortisol is low (< 3mcg/dL) and do not rise with ACTH stimulation<br />Addison crisis is treated by intravenous normal saline and hydrocortisone 100mg every eight hours<br />Treatment must be done before laboratory confirmation of diagnosis because of the danger of coma<br />Chronic Addison disease requires replacement of glucocorticosteroids:<br />Hydrocortisone 30mg daily (two thirds in the morning, one third in the evening)<br />Cortisone acetate 37.5 mg daily or<br />Fludrocortisones 0.05 to 0.2 mg daily<br />DHEA 50mg orally in the morning<br />Adequate salt intake is important for normal fluid and electrolyte balance.<br />Addison crisis patients have excellent recovery with appropriate treatment<br />Chronic Addison disease patients also recovered well with replacement therapy.<br />Care is needed when there is trauma, infection and surgery</li></ol><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Addison Disease<br />Chapter 2 Interesting Facts about Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 3 Treatment of Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 4 Adrenal Fatigue<br />Chapter 5 Adrenal Tumors<br />Chapter 6 Adrenal Crisis<br />Chapter 7 Cushing Syndrome<br />Epilogue</p>...9781370042081_Kenneth Keelibro_electonico_cc4c37b2-55f2-3383-9384-86ebe65c53a2_9781370042081;9781370042081_9781370042081Kenneth KeeInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/smashwords-epub-c6e3fb5b-729a-418e-b62a-967de2dea186.epub2016-10-17T00:00:00+00:00Kenneth Kee
