Title: Musculoskeletal aspects of hypoadrenalism: Just a load of aches and pain?

Biography

Biography: Navtej Sathi

Abstract

Hypoadrenalism remains an underdiagnosed disease process. It’s musculoskeletal features are less well described in the literature when compared to diabetes or thyroid disorders. As a consequence considering hypoadrenalism in a patient with mainly musculoskeletal features may be difficult and delayed. The paper will include three cases from our own experience as well as all the relevant cases of hypoadrenalism in the English, French and Spanish language medical literature, going back to the time of Thomas Addison. There will be a summary of the relevant signs, symptoms and investigation findings which may help clinicians diagnose and treat this disease. Also the relationship of hypoadrenalism and chronic disease may be explored during the talk.
