  • 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 describe the condition "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.
  • In 1956, Hudson was the first physician to give a detailed description of hyporeninmenic hypoaldosteronism and its pathophysiology.[1]
  • In 1964, Viser and cost was the first to give a detailed description on isolated hypoaldosteronism.
  • In 1964, Ulick was the first to give a detailed description on congenital hypoaldosteronism.
