Addison's Disease

What is Addison's disease?

Addison's disease is adrenal insufficiency caused by destruction of the adrenal glands.  Due to resulting chronic production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is derived from the same precursor as melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), Addison's disease can result in diffuse darkening of both sun-exposed and sun non-exposed skin, including membranes, such as buccal mucosa.  Skin creases are characteristically affected.

The most common cause of Addison's disease is auto-immune destruction of the gland. Other causes are infections, such as tuberculosis, coccidiomycosis, cryptococcosis, and histoplasmosis, sarcoid, metastatic cancer, and amyloid deposition.
