French national reference center for rare adrenal diseases
The reference center for rare adrenal diseases (CRMRS) was accredited in october 2005 and then renewed in 2017 and is coordinated by Pr Jérôme Bertherat. It includes :
- A coordinating site : endocrinology and metabolic diseases department of Pr Jérôme Bertherat, Hôpital Cochin, 75014 Paris.
- A constituent site : hypertension unit of Professor Laurence Amar, hypertension department of Professor Michel Azizi, Georges-Pompidou European Hospital, 75015 Paris.
We are involved in diagnosis and treatment. We also have a clinical research activity on these diseases. The center allows the collaboration of the different specialists necessary for the management of the disease.
This reference center is affiliated with the FIRENDO rare diseases healthcare network and the ENDO-ERN network(European reference network on rare endocrine conditions).

The national diagnostic and care protocol (PNDS) on Cushing syndrome elaborated by the reference center fo rare adrenal diseases (CRMRS) was published on the website of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) on March 23, 2023. It is accessible by clicking on the image above.

The reference center for rare adrenal diseases gathers a hospital team within which different specialties collaborate, with expertise in rare adrenal diseases, integrating medical, paramedical, psychological, social and educational skills. It develops its activities in the fields of care, teaching and training, and research.
The missions are :
- coordination of the care network,
- expertise in rare adrenal diseases,
- recourse,
- teaching and training,
- research.
The diseases concerned are many and varied :
- Primary adrenal insufficiency or Addison disease : autoimmune, isolated or in the context of autoimmune polyendocrinopathies type I or II, combining diabetes, hypothyroidism, ovarian insufficiency, hypoparathyroidism, vitiligo, etc. ; infectious (tuberculosis or other); infiltrative (neoplastic); iatrogenic (bilateral adrenalectomy, mitotane, etc.) ; genetic (glucocorticoid resistance syndromes, adrenoleukodystrophy, Allgrove syndrome, SF-1, DAX…).
- Secondary adrenal insufficiency or corticotropic insufficiency (corticosteroid therapy, hypothalamic-pituitary pathologies of various causes).
- Adrenal enzyme deficiencies, also called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21 hydroxylase deficiency, 11-beta hydroxylase deficiency, 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency,…)
- Cushing’s syndrome (Cushing’s disease, Nelson’s syndrome, endocrine tumors with ectopic ACTH secretion, adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenal adenoma, bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s syndrome in Carney complex, to Mc Cune-Albright syndrome,…)
- Primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s adenoma, bilateral hyperplasia of the zona glomerulosa)
- Sporadic Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma or in the context of MEN2, VHL, NF1, mutations in the SDH, …

Living with adrenal insufficiency requires you to constantly adapt. Identifying your symptoms, adapting your treatments, dealing with risky situations, managing your stress, knowing how to give your hydrocortisone injection : all this is your daily life.
CAP Surrénales is an application that will allow you to practice, after the therapeutic education workshops, on all these topics.
This application was developed by Dr Laurence Guignat (Reference center for rare adrenal diseases – Endocrinology, Cochin hospital, Paris) and Edusanté, based on the therapeutic education kit CAP Surrénales.
