Addison 's Disease (Primary Adrenal Sufficiency)
Addison 's disease results from autoimnate destruction of the adrenal cortex, learing to deficient production of cortisol and aldosterone. Though less common - affecting roughly 1 in 100,000 people - it carries serious risks if undicredised. Classic transcents include progressive sufficie, hyperpigmentation (especially in creases, scars, and gums), hytension, salt craving, and gastromtentinal concludances.

Přibližné 60- 70% of Addison 's disease cases in developed countries are autoiyne in origin. Te estating cases are due to infections (e.g., tuberculosis), metastatic disease, or bloorege. Importantly, autoimune Addison' s rarely difrens in isolation; it is frequently part of a larver autoimune polyendokrine syndrome.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the imne system destrucys te insulin aproducing beta cells of the pankreatic istets. This leads to absolute insulin deficiency, hyperglycemia, and reliance on exogenous insulin for survival. Onset is often in childhood or judg adulthood, though it can acceur any age.
Te hallmark of T1D is thes presence of autoantibodies against pankreatic antigens: islet cell antibodies (ICA), insulin autoantibodies (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA), and others. Genetic Aztibility is strongly linked to HLA class II genes, particarly HLA DRA DR3 and HLA curtis DR4. T1D accounts for about 5-10% of all DifDecretetes cases, but its prevalencis rising global 4.
