- Fatigue
[…] of circulating calcium Addison disease, an insufficiency of the adrenal glands, presenting with changes in skin pigmentation, loss of appetite and weight loss, fatigue, low blood pressure and fatigue. [dermnetnz.org]
We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, fatigue, pain, and stress) regardless of condition. Last updated: May 14, 2019 [patientslikeme.com]
However, most people with endocrine disease complain of fatigue and weakness. Blood and urine tests to check your hormone levels can help your doctors determine if you have an endocrine disorder. [webmd.com]
A 74-years-old woman came to the hospital due to fatigue, nausea, vomiting and skin hyperpigmentation that had begun two months before her presentation. [hippokratia.gr]
A 66-year-old female presented with fatigue, edema and jaundice. She had been diagnosed with Graves' disease at the age of 29 years but stopped going to the hospital for follow-up visits. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting are common in DKA, along with above symptoms as presented in our patient. The most striking physical sign of pernicious anemia is pallor; however it was ruled out as MCV was normal. [thetrp.net]
Skin
- Alopecia
Case Report A 9-year-old female was admitted in the hospital because of alopecia. She had multiple minimal local alopecia and bilateral loss of eyelashes and eyebrows [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. [jcor.in]

Suspicion of asplenia can be raised by the presence of Howell-Jolly bodies, thrombocytosis, anysocites, poikylocytes, target cells, and burr cells on peripheral blood smears (24). [scielo.br]

Treatment
[ edit ] Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 treatment is based on the symptoms that are presented by the affected individual, additionally there is: [4] Hormone replacement Systemic antifungal treatment Immunosuppressive treatment See also [ edit [en.wikipedia.org]
With the medium dose prednisolone in addition to levothyroxine and treatments for congestive heart failure and polymorphic VT, the symptoms and signs faded out gradually. [synapse.koreamed.org]
She was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis and progressed favourably after treatment with insulin. Pancreatic islet-cell antibodies (ICA) were positive. [erj.ersjournals.com]
Inheritance is autosomal recessive. [1] Treatment may include hormone -replacement, and medication for candidiasis, as well as specific treatment of any complications. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
We present the case of a 45-yr-old woman, affected by APS I, in chronic treatment with betamethasone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis (outlook) depends on whether the critical hormone deficiencies are remedied and especially whether the infections can be successfully controlled. [medicinenet.com]

New treatments have favourably changed the prognosis. Its frequent association with autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) has been previously acknowledged 1 – 3. ATD may also be associated with other autoimmune diseases. [erj.ersjournals.com]
According to Vasconcellos, the presence of sensory level denotes severe case of vitamin B12 deficiency and may be considered a finding associated with a bad prognosis. [scielo.mec.pt]

Etiology
Hypothyroidism secondary to autoimmune disease, the predominant etiology, and PA were confirmed by the presence of antithyroglobulin and anti-intrinsic factor antibodies, respectively. [edmcasereports.com]
His morning serum cortisol level was found to be undetectable and further workup confirmed autoimmune etiology of primary adrenal insufficiency. [journals.aace.com]
The etiology of the ventricular tachycardia seen in this patient with a structurally normal heart on echocardiography remains unclear, but it may have been due to electrolyte abnormalities. [pubs.sciepub.com]
The etiology is most often autoimmune. [merckmanuals.com]
The presence of antithyroid antibodies (e.g. anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, anti-microsomal antibodies, thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins) can be useful for confirming autoimmune etiology (see thyroid function tests module). [hopkinsguides.com]
