Background: Previous research show that autoimmune adrenal insufficiency develops gradually over time and inexorably results in a total inability to produce adrenal steroids. However, growing evidence suggest that a few patients preserve some steroid producing capacity.Aim: To explore the frequency of residual cortisol production and possible clinical consequences in patients with autoimmune Addison´s disease (AAD).Material an...

BackgroundResidual adrenocortical function (RAF) is present in one third of patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), yet its clinical significance remains unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate if biomarker profiles of cardiovascular disease and inflammation are different in patients with AAD and RAF compared to patients without RAF and healthy controls.Material and methods<p...
