What is the life expectancy of someone with Addison Disease?
Life expectancy of people with Addison Disease and recent progresses and researches in Addison Disease
This is really a complicated question to answer. The studies indicate that we are at risk of increased mortality in comparison to the general population, but it appears from recent studies that this is largely from a lack of education on proper treatment for adrenal crisis which is fatal if not treated quickly with large doses of IV glucorticosteroids and IV fluids. Rapid and proper treatment is nearly always successful.

That is unknown. Just take care of urself , take your meds. See your endocrinologist.

It's in the 60s because if you get pneumonia it's harder to fight off. I think with more advancements we can do better

With proper medical care and medication I don't believe life is shortened.

A normal life expectancy is normal as long as you maintain your self and your disease

The live expectancy is slightly lower than the general population. This is due to a increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However the quality of life of a medicated addisonian can be similar as the general population

I have had addisons for 47 years and to this point living a normal life. I was diagnosed at age 17 and I am now 64 years old.

Hope less than that of people without the disease, stress, trauma, diarrhea, and infections can put your life at risk. Unfortunately there is progress that gives hope, I don't know.

I've been 31 years already with the disease and I hope to live many more years, when you are already diagnosed, I think that the danger is more big step, that before any crisis at the hospital already know how to act

durability less to that of a person who is not suffering from any disease, the same risks they are exposed to suffer an adrenal crisis but must continue to care relevant to lead a life that is more durable
