    Addisons Disease

    I have a question from one of my NVQ 3 modules. It says:

    Why is fludrocortisone needed in addition to hydrocortisone in addisons disease?

    I've said that it's used to replace aldosterone. Is this right/wrong? If it's right why don't people suffering from addisons produce enough aldosterone?
