49: Other adrenocortical insufficiency.
Impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning of the system of glands that release their secretions (hormones) directly into the circulatory system. Pathological processes of the endocrine glands, and diseases resulting from abnormal level of available hormones.
Common endocrine disordersDiabetes. Diabetes is a condition that causes high blood glucose levels due to the body being unable to either produce or use insulin sufficiently to regulate glucose. ... Hyperthyroidism. ... Hypothyroidism. ... Cushing's syndrome. ... Acromegaly. ... PCOS.
Adrenal insufficiency, including Addison's disease, is a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands don't make enough of certain hormones. These include cortisol, sometimes called the “stress hormone,” which is essential for life.
General Discussion. ACTH deficiency arises as a result of decreased or absent production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland. A decline in the concentration of ACTH in the blood leads to a reduction in the secretion of adrenal hormones, resulting in adrenal insufficiency (hypoadrenalism).

Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder diagnosed in the U.S. Other endocrine disorders include: Adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal gland releases too little of the hormone cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone.
Endocrine conditions can be due to three main causes: 1) Underproduction of a certain hormone; 2) Overproduction of a certain hormone; 3) A malfunction in the production line of a hormone or in its ability to function correctly.
Types of Endocrine DisordersAdrenal Insufficiency. Adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, produce various hormones. ... Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) ... Hyperaldosteronism. ... Osteoporosis. ... Pituitary Disorders. ... Thyroid Disorders.
Polycystosis. Also called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition is one of the most common female reproduction and endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age.

A congenital or acquired condition of insufficient production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex leading to diminished aldosterone-mediated synthesis of na (+)-k (+)-exchanging atpase in renal tubular cells. Clinical symptoms include hyperkalemia, sodium-wasting, hypotension, and sometimes metabolic acidosis.
Clinical symptoms include hyperkalemia, sodium-wasting, hypotension, and sometimes metabolic acidosis. Aldosterone deficiency, usually associated with hypoadrenalism and characterized by hypotension, dehydration, and a tendency to excrete excessive amounts of sodium.
