What is Addison's Disease?

When adrenal glands, found above the kidneys, fail to produce enough vital hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, they are known to have a condition called Addison’s Disease. Also known as primary adrenal insufficiency, if someone cannot regulate the amount of these hormones then certain critical functions, including metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure, are put under pressure. Without them, your body can struggle to cope with stress, infection, and daily functioning, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms.

Left untreated, Addison’s Disease can be life-threatening. However, with early detection and personalised treatment plans, you can maintain your health and well-being with ongoing care.

Do You Have the Following Symptoms?

Addison’s Disease presents itself with a variety of symptoms that can often be mistaken for other health issues. Common signs include:

  • Chronic fatigue and weakness
  • Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
  • Low blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting
  • Salt cravings
  • Darkening of the skin (especially in areas like the elbows, knees, and knuckles)
  • Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Irritability or mood changes

These symptoms tend to develop gradually, making them easy to overlook. If you recognise any of these signs, it’s important to seek professional advice from a specialist. We offer in-depth evaluations to determine whether Addison’s Disease may be affecting your health. 

How We Can Help

We provide a comprehensive, personalised approach to diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management. We understand the impact this condition can have on your quality of life, and our goal is to help you regain balance and control.

  • Expert Diagnosis: We’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and test results to confirm whether Addison’s Disease is the cause of your health concerns.
  • Tailored Treatment Plans: Each patient is unique. Our team will work closely with you to develop a treatment strategy that meets your specific needs, adjusting your medication and lifestyle plan as needed to achieve the best outcomes.
  • Ongoing Support: Managing Addison’s Disease requires continuous care. We’ll provide the support you need throughout your treatment journey, helping you understand your condition and empowering you to live a full, active life.

Diagnosing Addison’s Disease

Diagnosing Addison’s Disease requires a comprehensive evaluation to assess your symptoms and confirm the condition. At our clinic, we use advanced diagnostic testing to provide accurate results. This typically involves blood tests to measure hormone levels, imaging scans to check the adrenal glands, and possibly other specialised tests to rule out other potential causes.

If Addison’s Disease is suspected, our specialists will take the time to explain the results and discuss the next steps with you. We believe in clear communication and ensure that you're fully informed throughout the process.

Management and Treatment

While Addison’s Disease is a lifelong condition, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment. The primary approach to treating Addison’s Disease is hormone replacement therapy, which helps to restore the hormones your body is not producing. Our team will work with you to find the correct dosage and treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs.

  • Medications: Hormone replacement medications, such as hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, are used to replace the missing hormones and help regulate your body’s functions.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments: We’ll guide you on the best lifestyle modifications to support your health, including diet, exercise, stress management, and monitoring your condition regularly.
  • Emergency Management: Addison’s Disease can cause life-threatening adrenal crises in times of stress or illness. We will educate you on how to manage these situations and ensure that you are prepared for emergencies with a clear action plan.

With expert treatment and the right management strategies, you can lead a fulfilling life despite Addison’s Disease. We’re here to support you every step of the way, offering care that is both compassionate and precise.

No waiting lists. No hassle. Just personalised, compassionate care.
