Overview
Hypoaldosteronism was first described by the physician Hudson in the year 1956. Later on, in the year 1964, physicians Viser and Ulick gave a description on isolated and congenital hypoaldosteronism respectively.
Historical Perspective
The following timeline provides a brief history in the discovery of adrenal glands and hypoaldosteronism.[1][2][3][4]
- In 1563, Bartholomeus Eustachius an anatomy professor at the Collegio della Sapienza in Rome was the first to give a description of the adrenal glands in his publication "glandulae renibus incumbentes"
- In 1586, Piccolomini was the first to name the glands as suprarenals.
- In 1651, Highmore was the first to suggest that the suprarenals act to absorb exudates from the large vessels.
- In 1656, Thomas Wharton was the first to describe the concept of the neuroendocrine function of the adrenal medulla.
- In 1805, Cuvier was the first to give a detailed description of medulla and cortex of adrenal glands.
- In 1852, Albert von Kölliker was the first to give a detailed microscopic description of the adrenal glands.
- In 1855, Thomas Addison was the first to identify and describe the condition "Addison's disease" in his paper On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules.
- In 1856, Charles Brown-Séquard provided experimental proof of the vital role of the adrenals by performing adrenalectomies (the removal of adrenals) from several animal species.
- In 1956, Hudson James, an American physician was the first to give a detailed description of hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism and its pathophysiology.
- In 1964, Viser and Cost were the first to give a detailed description on isolated hypoaldosteronism.
- In 1964, Ulick was the first to give a detailed description on congenital hypoaldosteronism.
