Investigation of adrenal insufficiency
Aid in the detection of those at risk of developing autoimmune adrenal failure in the future
Addison disease is the most frequent cause of primary adrenal insufficiency.
Auto-antibodies against 21-hydroxylase are present in up to 90% of Addison disease cases.
Measurement of anti-21-hydroxylase auto-antibodies is useful in the evaluation of the cause of established primary adrenal insufficiency.
