	Addison's disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Addison's disease (also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism) is a rare endocrine disorder.
		The disease was first described by British physician Thomas Addison in his 1855 publication: On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules.
		Addison's disease refers specifically to primary adrenal insufficiency, in which the adrenal glands themselves malfunction; secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the anterior pituitary gland does not produce enough adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to adequately stimulate the adrenal glands.

		Thomas Addison was the son of Sarah and Joseph Addison, a grocer and flower-seller in Long Benton, Northumberland.

		Addison took a great interest in diseases of the lungs and in 1843 described the pathology of pneumonia, which so far in accordance with René-Théophile-Hyacinthe Laennec (1781-1826) had been considered an inflammation of the interstitial tissues of the lungs.

		Addison's disease is a condition where the adrenal glands fail to secrete the normal amounts of two hormones-cortisol and aldosterone.

	Addison`s Life
		Addison himself told me that his father had designed him for the law, but that personal predilections had induced him to embrace the profession of medicine.
		Addison was subsequently removed to a school of a somewhat higher class, either in Newcastle-on-Tyne, or at a place called Three-mile Bridge, on the great North road.
		Addison`s may be cited, indeed, as one of the earliest (if not the first) instances of those traditional trammels being broken through; for in 1824 he was appointed assistant-physician to the hospital, his previous association with it consisting only in his entry there as a student after having taken his degree in Edinburgh.

	Addison's Disease - Symptoms and description
		Addison’s disease is a rare, chronic condition brought about by the failure of the adrenal glands.
		One of the most significant consequences of Addison’s disease is, therefore, the body’s failure to adapt to such stresses and, in the absence of adequate steroid cover, this may result in a state of shock, known as an Addisonian crisis, which is a medical emergency.
		Addison’s disease is not usually apparent until over 90% of the adrenal cortex has been destroyed, so that very little adrenal capacity is left.

		Like John Addison, Thomas became a colonel in the militia, and he was appointed to several important offices, as well, including judge of the Provincial Court and member of the Governor's Council.
		Throughout his ministry, Addison was an active defender of clerical integrity in the face of proprietary patronage, and was a strong supporter of the establishment of an American bishopric.
		Addison never fully explained the reasons for his loyalty to Britain when hostilities broke out, nor his rapid decision to emigrate, but it appears that his devotion to the Anglican church and his English education may have significantly influenced his decision.

		There are also several less common causes of Addison disease; these include fungal infections, invasion of the adrenal cells by cancer cells that have spread from another part of the body, CMV virus in association with AIDS, the surgical removal of both adrenal glands, haemorrhage into the adrenal glands during shock and congenital Addison disease.

		Addison's disease is a severe or total deficiency of the hormones made in the adrenal cortex, caused by the destruction of the cortex.
		Once the diagnosis of Addison's disease is established, an effort should be made to find the cause by checking for tuberculosis and other infections through skin tests and x-rays.
		Since all of the manifestations of Addison's disease are caused by the lack of cortisol and aldosterone, the treatment is to replace these with similar steroids.
