A member asked:
Could use your help docs! a friend has a condition called 'addison's disease' which is a fault with his adrenal glands. if i'm a match, would it be possible to donate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a treatment: Addisons is treated with supplementation of the under-produced hormones. Transplantation and the complex series of medications needed to prevent rejection would be more trouble than the simple treatment now available.Nice thought, but not realistic.
