Poor Katherine

She realized that she got it from her mother's friend who kept coughing and sneezing. Tuberculosis (TB) is transmitted from an infected person to a susceptible person in airborne particles, called droplet nuclei.

The doctor does his greetings and tells Katherine that she has an infection that has targeted her lungs. Katherine looks confused and he further explains that she has tuberculosis. He tells her it's curable and she takes 600mg of Rifapentine-moxifloxacin for at least 4 months.

Tuberculosis is an illness that mostly affects the lungs and the organs. In this case, it affected her adrenal glands, A small gland that produces steroid hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline is the adrenal gland. These hormones aid in the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital body functions.

Tuberculosis, April 3, 2003

During spring break, Katherine was rushed to the hospital due to having a blocked airway. Her mother thought she was having an asthma attack, so she told her she will be okay. After all the back and forth between her mother and sister, Katherine decided to just close her eyes. An hour went by and a doctor was standing over her.

The adrenal glands' outer layer (cortex) secretes a variety of vital hormones. These include glucocorticoids, which are involved in metabolism and stress resistance.

Adrenal gland enlargement also has been reported in patients with major depression and has been hypothesized as an index of cumulative lifetime depression.

When she sees that they're excited, she gets excited. After a long week of staying at the hospital, it's time for Katherine to go home. When she arrives, everyone's mood changes.

It is classified as an autoimmune disorder because it results from a malfunctioning immune system that attacks the adrenal glands. As a result, the production of several hormones is disrupted, which affects many body systems.

Addison’s disease, which is the autoimmune disease she has is caused by the malfunction of the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands release hormones that produce cortisol. Cortisol affects several aspects of the body and mainly helps regulate the body's response to stress.

They also had to do a blood test, an ACTH stimulation test, and a CT scan. Blood tests help doctors check for certain diseases and conditions. They also help check the function of your organs and show how well treatments are working. ACTH stimulation test is the main medical test to diagnose adrenal insufficiency. A CT scan can find changes in your adrenal glands.

Katherine was rushed to the hospital and the doctors managed to raise her blood pressure cause it was low. They found that when she was younger she had tuberculosis.

Flurodrocortison and Hydrocortisone

Medicines

She has to take Fludrocortisone tablets to replace the adrenal hormone aldosterone, which the adrenal gland should normally make. Aldosterone is an important hormone as it acts on your kidneys to tell them to keep salt in your body. If your adrenal glands are not making enough cortisol, hydrocortisone tablets work by replacing the hormone and bringing your levels up to normal.
