Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Addison’s disease cause changes in skin pigmentation? Hyperpigmentation happens in people with Addison’s disease because the adrenal insufficiency causes changes in hormone levels. These hormones changes means that more melanin is produced and the skin appears more tanned.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Addison’s disease, hyponatremia results from aldosterone deficiency (leading to renal sodium loss) and water retention (via the increased release of ADH) in response to a reduction in systemic blood pressure and cardiac output [9].
