For question 1, 2, 4, I don't know much more than you, beefoxy and bellkicker.
For MCC of the diseases,
a. hyperthyoidism: Graves
b. hypothyoidism: Hashimoto, iatrogenic cause is the second most.
c. Chushings: yes, iatrogenic
d. hypoadrenalism: also iatrogenic, like long-term use of steroids inhibit the adrenal function, attn this pt's condition after surgery and other stress!!!
Thanks.

Hey Tess,
I think MCC of hypothyrodism is iatrogenic ,hashimto's comes second .Isn't it ?
:idea: In a case of hypoadrenalism , we have to give preoperatively exogenous steroids to the pt ,so that pt will not succumb to death following any surgery.

Asmi, that's what "step 2 secret" says. it might be wrong. I have found some mistakes there, I feel your point is quite reasonable. Thanks.

I'm still convinced that it's iodine deficiency if we're looking at the world's population.
