A patient presents with hypotension, hyperpigmentation of the skin, and fatigue. Which adrenal disorder is most likely associated with these symptoms?
Conn's syndrome
Cushing's syndrome
Pheochromocytoma
Addison's disease
Addison's disease is characterized by adrenal insufficiency, which leads to symptoms such as hypotension, hyperpigmentation, and fatigue. Hyperpigmentation occurs due to increased production of melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which is a by-product of elevated ACTH levels. Hypotension is the result of reduced cortisol and aldosterone levels.
