This case study highlights a rare diagnosis of Addison's disease in a patient presenting with unexplained hypertransaminasaemia (elevated liver enzymes) and general symptoms. The findings emphasize the importance of considering uncommon endocrine disorders in differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Hypertransaminasaemia is a common clinical finding with a broad differential diagnosis.
  • Addison's disease, or primary adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon endocrine disorder.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old male presented with hypertransaminasaemia, asthenia, anorexia, and weight loss.
  • Extensive investigations for common causes of elevated liver enzymes were negative.

Findings:

  • Addison's disease was diagnosed after ruling out other etiologies.
  • This represents a rare clinical association between hypertransaminasaemia and Addison's disease.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider rare endocrine disorders like Addison's disease in the differential diagnosis of unexplained hypertransaminasaemia.
