Associated Conditions for Addison's Disease

List of associated medical conditions for Addison's Disease:

The list of conditions mentioned by various sources as associated with Addison's Disease includes:

  • Diabetes
  • Cushing's disease - because surgical tumor removal for Cushing's can lead to Addison's.
  • Pituitary tumor - both directly, or because treating it may cause a form of Addison's.
  • Adrenal calcium deposits - from tuberculosis.

About associated conditions for Addison's Disease:

Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Addison's Disease, and underlying causes may be causes of Addison's Disease, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Addison's Disease. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Addison's Disease. People with Addison's Disease may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Addison's Disease is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
