We present the first systematic review of QOL in adrenal disease. Quality of life is reduced in patients with adrenal disease, irrespective of adrenal hyperfunction or hypofunction. Quality of life improved with therapy but was not completely reversed despite biochemical remission. Authors should adhere to consistent reporting practices which are interpretable by clinicians. Further research is required to explain the mechanisms driving impaired QOL and value of QOL evaluations in the clinical context.
