| Addison's Disease Addison Disease | Addisons Disease | Disease, Addison | Disease, Addison' | s A disease characterized by hypotension, weight loss, anorexia, weakness, and sometimes a bronze-like melanotic hyperpigmentation of the skin. It is due to tuberculosis- or autoimmune-induced disease (hypofunction) of the adrenal glands that results in deficiency of aldosterone and cortisol. In the absence of replacement therapy, it is usually fatal. | |
| Anemia, Pernicious Addison' | s Anemia | Anemia, Addison' | s | Addison Anemia | Addisons Anemia | Anemia, Addison | Anemia, Addisons | Pernicious Anemia A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor. (Dorland, 27th ed) | |
| Desoxycorticosterone 21-Hydroxyprogesterone | Cortexone | DOCA | Deoxycorticosterone | Desoxycortone | 11-Decorticosterone | 21-Hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione | Decortin | 11 Decorticosterone | 21 Hydroxy 4 pregnene 3,20 dione | 21 Hydroxyprogesterone 21-Hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione. Mineralocorticoid. Desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) is used as replacement therapy in Addison's Disease. | |
| Polyendocrinopathies, Autoimmune Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal-Dystrophy | Autoimmune Syndrome Type I, Polyglandular | Autoimmune Syndrome Type II, Polyglandular | Polyglandular Type I Autoimmune Syndrome | Schmidt' | s Syndrome Autoimmune disease affecting multiple endocrine organs. Type I is characterized by childhood onset and mucocutaneous candidiasis, while type II exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (ADDISON'S DISEASE), lymphocytic thyroiditis, hypoparathyroidism, and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific antibodies against a variety of endocrine glands have been detected. The type II syndrome differs from type I in that it is associated with HLA-A1 and B8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present. | |
| Disease Progression Disease Progressions | Progression, Disease | Progressions, Disease The worsening of a disease over time. This concept is most often used for chronic and incurable diseases where the stage of the disease is an important determinant of therapy and prognosis. | |
| Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenitis Kikuchi Disease | Lymphadenitis, Histiocytic Necrotizing | Kikuchi' | s Disease | Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease | Disease, Kikuchi | Disease, Kikuchi' | s | Disease, Kikuchi-Fujimoto | Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease | Kikuchis Disease Development of lesions in the lymph node characterized by infiltration of the cortex or paracortex by large collections of proliferating histiocytes and complete or, more often, incomplete necrosis of lymphoid tissue. | |
| Adiposis Dolorosa Dercum' | s Disease | Dercum Disease | Dercums Disease | Disease, Dercum | Disease, Dercum' | s A rare disease, believed to be autosomal dominant, manifested by fatty deposits that press on nerves causing weakness and pain. | |
| Paratuberculosis Johne' | s Disease | Johne Disease | Disease, Johne | Disease, Johne' | s | Johnes Disease | Paratuberculoses An infectious disease caused by MYCOBACTERIUM PARATUBERCULOSIS. Characteristics include chronic debilitation and weight loss. | |
| Bartter's Disease Barter Disease | Barter' | s Disease | Bartter Disease | Barters Disease | Bartters Disease | Disease, Barter | Disease, Barter' | s | Disease, Bartter | Disease, Bartter' | s Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular cells, producing hypokalemic alkalosis and hyperaldosteronism, characterized by absence of hypertension in the presence of markedly increased plasma renin concentrations, and by insensitivity to the pressor effects of angiotensin. It usually affects children, is perhaps hereditary, and may be associated with other anomalies, such as mental retardation and short stature. It is also called juxtaglomerular cell aplasia. (Dorland, 27th ed) | |
| Dermatitis Herpetiformis Duhring' | s Disease | Duhring Disease | Disease, Duhring | Disease, Duhring' | s | Duhrings Disease Rare, chronic, papulo-vesicular disease characterized by an intensely pruritic eruption consisting of various combinations of symmetrical, erythematous, papular, vesicular, or bullous lesions. The disease is strongly associated with the presence of HLA-B8 and HLA-DR3 antigens. A variety of different autoantibodies has been detected in small numbers in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. | |
