Adrenal insufficiency
Adrenal insufficiency, also known as hypoadrenalism, is a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones, particularly cortisol, either due to adrenal gland damage (primary hypoadrenalism) or insufficient production of ACTH by the pituitary gland (secondary hypoadrenalism). This deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, low blood pressure, and in severe cases, a life-threatening adrenal crisis.
