Could lithotripsy cause addison's disease or the depo-provera birth control shot?i have a positive ana was told i have fibermyalgia ?would a ct scan show it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and no: I have never heard of lithotripsy causing addison's disease. It is not something that would show up on a cat scan. The most common cause for addison's disease is autoimmune, so having a positive ANA may put you at a slightly higher risk, but addison's is very rare, and needs to be diagnosed by an endocrinologist, with laboratory testing.
