    Glossary Adrenal Insufficiency

    occurs when adrenal glands produce insufficient cortisol and aldosterone

    Adrenal Insufficiency, also known as adrenal failure or adrenal hypofunction, is a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough of certain hormones, particularly cortisol and sometimes aldosterone. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss, low blood pressure, and skin changes. It can be caused by autoimmune disorders, infections, or other underlying health issues, and requires medical diagnosis and management.
