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.
