Can You Detect Addison's Disease On An HTMA?
Addison’s disease, sometimes called primary adrenal gland problem, is rare but serious. It happens when the adrenal glands, which sit just above the kidneys, do not make enough of the important hormones. The two main hormones are cortisol and, for many people, aldosterone.
Cortisol helps you deal with stress. It keeps your blood pressure steady and controls how your body uses energy. Aldosterone helps your body keep the right amount of salt and potassium. It also helps with your blood pressure.
