1945-719710222017Feb01The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolismJ Clin Endocrinol MetabClinical and Immunological Characteristics of Autoimmune Addison Disease: A Nationwide Swedish Multicenter Study.379389379-38910.1210/jc.2016-2522Studies of the clinical and immunological features of autoimmune Addison disease (AAD) are needed to understand the disease burden and increased mortality.To provide upgraded data on autoimmune comorbidities, replacement therapy, autoantibody profiles, and cardiovascular risk factors.A cross-sectional, population-based study that included 660 AAD patients from the Swedish Addison Registry (2008-2014). When analyzing the cardiovascular risk factors, 3594 individuals from the population-based survey in Northern Sweden, MONICA (monitoring of trends and determinants of cardiovascular disease), served as controls.The endpoints were the prevalence of autoimmune comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors. Autoantibodies against 13 autoantigens were determined.The proportion of 21-hydroxylase autoantibody-positive patients was 83%, and 62% of patients had ≥1 associated autoimmune diseases, more frequently coexisting in females (P < 0.0001). AAD patients had a lower body mass index (P < 0.0001) and prevalence of hypertension (P = 0.027) compared with controls. Conventional hydrocortisone tablets were used by 89% of the patients, with a mean dose of 28.1 ± 8.5 mg/d. The mean hydrocortisone equivalent dose normalized to the body surface was 14.8 ± 4.4 mg/m2/d. A greater hydrocortisone equivalent dose was associated with a greater incidence of hypertension (P = 0.046).Careful monitoring of AAD patients is warranted to detect associated autoimmune diseases. Contemporary Swedish AAD patients did not have an increased prevalence of overweight, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or hyperlipidemia. However, high glucocorticoid replacement doses could be a risk factor for hypertension.Copyright © 2017 by the Endocrine SocietyDalinFridaFCentre for Molecular Medicine, Department of Medicine (Solna).Science for Life Laboratory, Department of Medical Sciences, and.Nordling ErikssonGabrielGDepartment of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, and.DahlqvistPerPDepartment of Public Health and Clinical Medicine and.HallgrenÅsaÅCentre for Molecular Medicine, Department of Medicine (Solna).WahlbergJeanetteJDivision of Endocrinology, Department of Medical and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, and.EkwallOlovODepartment of Pediatrics, Institute of Clinical Sciences.SöderbergStefanSDepartment of Public Health and Clinical Medicine and.RönnelidJohanJDepartments of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology.OlcénPerPDepartment of Laboratory Medicine and.WinqvistOlaOTranslational Immunology, Department of Medicine (Solna), and.CatrinaSergiu-BogdanSBDepartment of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, and.Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm SE-17176, Sweden.KriströmBeritBInstitution of Clinical Science, Pediatrics, Umeå University, Umeå SE-90736, Sweden.LaudiusMariaMDepartment of Public Health and Clinical Medicine and.IsakssonMagnusMMedical Sciences, and.Halldin StenlidMariaMWomen's and Children's Health, Uppsala University, Uppsala SE-75236, Sweden.GustafssonJanJWomen's and Children's Health, Uppsala University, Uppsala SE-75236, Sweden.Gebre-MedhinGennetGWomen's and Children's Health, Uppsala University, Uppsala SE-75236, Sweden.BjörnsdottirSigridurSDepartment of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, and.Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm SE-17176, Sweden.JansonAnnikaADepartment of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm SE-17176, Sweden.ÅkermanAnna-KarinAKDepartment of Laboratory Medicine and.ÅmanJanJDepartment of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro SE-70281, Sweden.DuchenKarelKDivision of Pediatrics, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Linköping University, Linköping SE-58183, Sweden.BergthorsdottirRagnhildurRDepartment of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institute of Medicine, and.Department of Endocrinology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg SE-40530, Sweden.JohannssonGudmundurGDepartment of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institute of Medicine, and.Department of Endocrinology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg SE-40530, Sweden.LindskogEmmaEDepartment of Pediatrics, Institute of Clinical Sciences.Landin-OlssonMonaMDepartment of Endocrinology, Skåne University Hospital, Lund SE-22362, Sweden; and.ElfvingMariaMDepartment of Pediatrics, Pediatric Endocrinology, Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Lund SE-22362, Sweden.WaldenströmErikEDepartment of Endocrinology, Skåne University Hospital, Lund SE-22362, Sweden; and.HultingAnna-LenaALDepartment of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, and.KämpeOlleOCentre for Molecular Medicine, Department of Medicine (Solna).Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm SE-17176, Sweden.BensingSophieSDepartment of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, and.Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm SE-17176, Sweden.engJournal ArticleMulticenter StudyResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov't
