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.
