Assessing adrenal function in patients with Addison's disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the role of 11-deoxycortisol as a surrogate marker for residual adrenal function in patients with autoimmune Addison's disease. It will involve measuring 11-deoxycortisol levels in recruited patients to determine if any residual endogenous corticosteroid production exists. The study seeks to understand the clinical significance of residual adrenal function, which may impact treatment needs and overall quality of life for patients. By identifying patients with residual function, the study could help tailor hormone replacement therapy more effectively.
