Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Men and women with AAD, age 18-70 years old. This requires documented adrenal
insufficiency and a positive test for 21-hydroxylase autoantibodies (biomarker for
autoimmune cause) on at least one occasion.

- Provided written informed consent

- In case of concomitant endocrine/autoimmune diseases, the patients should be on stable
adequate treatment at least the last 3 months prior to the study period.

- For Norwegian AD patients: enrolled in ROAS

- For Swedish AD patients: enrolled in the Swedish Addison registry

Exclusion Criteria:

- Antihypertensive treatment, with the exception of doxazosin, verapamil, and
moxonidine.

- Active malignant disease, severe heart, kidney or liver failure.

- Diabetes mellitus type 1.

- Pregnancy or breast feeding.

- Pharmacological treatment with glucocorticoids (except their usual cortisone or
hydrocortisone replacement therapy) or drugs that interfere with cortisol and
catecholamine metabolism (antiepileptics, rifampicin, St. Johns wart).

- Use of other glucocorticoid replacement medication than cortisone acetate or
hydrocortisone.

- Intake of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or and liquorice juice the last week before or
during the study period.
