Overview
Addison's disease is named after Dr. Thomas Addison, a British physician who first described the condition in his paper "On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules" in 1855.[1][2]
Historical perspective
- In 1563, Bartholomeus Eustachius, an anatomy professor at the Collegio della Sapienza in Rome was the first to give a description of the adrenal glands in his publication "glandulae renibus incumbentes".
- In 1586, Piccolomini was the first to name the glands as suprarenals.
- In 1651, Highmore was the first to suggest that the suprarenals act to absorb exudates from the large vessels.
- In 1656, Thomas Wharton was the first to describe the concept of the neuroendocrine function of the adrenal medulla.
- In 1805, Cuvier was the first to give a detailed description of medulla and cortex of adrenal glands.
- In 1852, Albert von Kölliker was the first to give a detailed microscopic description of the adrenal glands.
- In 1855, Thomas Addison was the first to identify and name Addison's disease in his paper "On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules".
- In 1856, Charles Brown-Séquard provided experimental proof of the vital role of the adrenals by performing adrenalectomies (the removal of adrenals) from several animal species.
