Furthermore, modification of the clinical or laboratory pattern of an endocrinopathy by the presence of a second glandular dysfunction may lead to diagnostic confusion.Despite the extensive literature concerning chronic adrenal insufficiency it is a rare entity. In the past, the majority of cases probably escaped detection due to a lack of specific diagnostic procedures. During recent years the development of reliable methods for quantitative determination of adrenal steroids, and the availability of adequate replacement...References1.
