A member asked:
Is it possible to have addison's disease, but have a normal comprehensive metabolic panel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A properly treated person with addison disease will have normal cmp, provided there is no other co-existing disease. The usual abnormality in untreated addison is elevated potassium.
