Sažetak
Addison's disease is the inability of the adrenal glands to produce cortisol and aldosterone, which must be replaced by medication. During stress or acute illness, there is a risk of adrenal crisis and it is important to adjust the dose of medication. The aim of this study was to find out how well Addison's disease patients are educated about their disease, its treatment, how often adrenal crisis occurs in these patients, and what the predictive factors are for developing adrenal crisis based on their knowledge.
