which of these symptoms is not common with addisons disease? (2 pts)
hypotension
skin that appears to be \bronze\
hyperglycemia
electrolyte imbalance
Addison's disease is due to adrenal insufficiency (low cortisol, aldosterone). Hypotension (from low aldosterone, fluid loss), bronze skin (from ACTH - related melanin), and electrolyte imbalance (low aldosterone causes sodium loss, potassium retention) are common. Cortisol helps regulate blood sugar; low cortisol in Addison's leads to hypoglycemia, not hyperglycemia. So hyperglycemia is not a common symptom of Addison's disease.
