Avoiding the Misdiagnosis of Adrenoleukodystrophy: Distinguishing ALD from ADD/ADHD
In diagnosis, one letter in the alphabet can make a life-saving difference. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), while a rare disorder, is important for clinicians to keep on their radar screen since it is typically fatal though amenable to treatment in its earlier stages.
These leaflets are designed for you to use yourself and to share with your consultant and any other medical, social and educational professionals involved. Although a lot of the information can be used worldwide, some of it is specific to the UK, in particular regarding health and care services. However, we are happy to send abroad where required.
