Addison's disease and corticosteroid-reversible hypothyroidism - PubMed
We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented with idiopathic adrenal insufficiency and subclinical hypothyroidism documented by elevated basal thyrotropin level with abnormal response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone administration. Anti-thyroid antibodies were present in high titer...

Reversible Hypothyroidism With Corticotropin Releasing Hormone Deficiency
Reversible hypothyroidism after corticosteroid replacement therapy has been reported in association with primary and secondary adrenal insufficiencies (Addison disease1,2 and isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency3). We report a case of reversible hypothyroidism in a patient diagnosed as...

„It is well known that untreated or suboptimal treatment of AAD leads to an increase in thyrotropin (TSH) levels, which can potentially lead to overdiagnosis of hypothyroidism (5, 6). In a previous study from our research group, TSH was elevated in 52% of AAD patients without known hypothyroidism at diagnosis „

„A 21-yr-old man presented with lethargy, hypotension, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, and an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level. He was binge drinking the day before presentation. No significant response to initial treatment with levothyroxine and dextrose occurred. Diagnostic workup later revealed primary adrenal insufficiency. All initial symptoms completely resolved following treatment with hydrocortisone, fludrocortisone, and levothyroxine.“

„In patients with adrenal insufficiency, Free T4 levels are low to normal, but serum thyroid stimulating hormone (S. TSH) levels are frequently elevated. This elevation in the S. TSH usually normalizes with steroid replacement
