A 44 year old man with longstanding diabetes mellitus gave a 6-month history of periodic attacks of flaccid quadriplegia. Following one of these episodes he was admitted for assessment. In view of persistent hyperkalaemia, hypoadrenalism was suspected and Addison's disease was confirmed biochemically. Adrenal replacement therapy restored the potassium levels to normal and resulted in no further attacks of paralysis.
一名患有长期糖尿病的44岁男性有6个月周期性弛缓性四肢瘫发作史。在其中一次发作后,他入院接受评估。鉴于持续性高钾血症,怀疑患有肾上腺皮质功能减退症,生化检查确诊为艾迪生病。肾上腺替代疗法使血钾水平恢复正常,且未再出现麻痹发作。
