Overview

If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

OR

Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

OR

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • If left untreated, hypoaldosteronism from Addison's disease can be life-threatening. Any stressful event or illness can cause a sudden worsening of symptoms (in patients of hypoaldosteronism from Addison's) which can lead to severe dehydration and fatally low blood pressure and eventually death.

Complications

  • Common complications of [disease name] include:
    • Hyperkalemia
    • Hyponatremia (from urinary sodium wasting)
    • Hypotension
    • Hypovolemia
    • Metabolic acidosis

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
  • Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
  • The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
  • [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
  • The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
