Addison's disease is caused by an autoimmune response, in which the body's immune system assaults its own organs and tissues. Addison's disease cannot be cured but can be significantly improved with hormone replacement therapy and the avoidance of common triggers. ]]> 2019-03-05 16:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nalanirwalker/nnviaogj6xp3/wish/338001266 nalanirwalker https://padlet.com/nalanirwalker/nnviaogj6xp3/wish/338003035 Some patients have Cushing's syndrome because the adrenal glands have a tumor(s) making too much cortisol.
