What Is Aldosterone Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Aldosterone hormone replacement therapy is an element of the treatment for Addison’s disease, which causes the adrenal glands to produce too little of two hormones, aldosterone as well as cortisol. Addison’s disease is an autoimmune disorder, and is caused by the immune system attacking the adrenal glands. Through aldosterone hormone replacement therapy and the replacement of other affected hormones, the negative effects of Addison’s disease are mitigated.
