Abstract
Primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) is a condition that is characterized by a lack of adrenal hormones - cortisol and aldosterone. The most common symptoms are fatigue and lack of energy, weakness, loss of appetite, and increased thirst. Additionally, darkening of the skin can occur. Inmost cases, Addison’s disease has an autoimmune etiology, but in some cases, it can be caused by infections, adrenal hemorrhage, and medications that disrupt the steroidogenesis pathway.
