Abstract:
Adrenal tuberculosis is still the main cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison Disease) in China. A case of bilateral adrenal tuberculosis without PAI symptoms was admitted to Department of Urology, Shanxi Provincial People’s Hospital. Pathological report showed adrenal tuberculosis. We present an overview and discuss how to diagnose early adrenal tuberculosis and reduce misdiagnosis rate so as to preserve residual adrenal function to the greatest extent.
