Addison's Disease with Renal Microangiopathy and Renal Failure (a New Syndrome)

摘要

A syndrome comprising Addison's disease, renal microangiopathy and renal failure is described in two patients. The renal lesions manifested despite corticosteroid replacement therapy and were characterized by glomerular damage and thrombo-microangiopathic changes in afferent arterioles and intralobular arteries. Both patients died as a result of their renal disease.
