These include:
You have two adrenal glands, one above each kidney. They make important hormones that your body uses for some of its most basic functions. When they don’t make enough of those hormones, you have a condition called adrenal insufficiency, also called adrenocortical insufficiency or hypocortisolism. What Do These Hormones Do?
Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands don’t make enough of the hormone cortisol. The primary kind is known as Addison’s disease. It is rare. It is when the adrenal glands don’t make enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
You have symptoms of an adrenal crisis. These may include: Severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Low blood pressure and fainting. Abdominal (belly) pain. Losing too much fluid or not taking in enough fluid (called dehydration). Confusion. You have trouble taking medicines by mouth. You have a fever. You do not get better as expected.

Overview. Addison's disease, also called adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon disorder that occurs when your body doesn't produce enough of certain hormones. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands, located just above your kidneys, produce too little cortisol and, often, too little aldosterone.
The primary kind is known as Addison's disease. It is rare. It is when the adrenal glands don't make enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the pituitary gland doesn't make enough of the hormone ACTH. The adrenal glands then don't make enough cortisol.
Definition. Adrenal suppression refers to decreased cortisol production as a result of negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, caused by excess glucocorticoids.[ 1]
An adrenal mass is an abnormal growth that develops in the adrenal gland. It's unclear why these masses form. They can develop in anyone of any age, but they are more common in older individuals.!
There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney. The outer part of each gland is the adrenal cortex and the inner part is the adrenal medulla.

Low levels of cortisol can cause weakness, fatigue, and low blood pressure. You may have more symptoms if you have untreated Addison's disease or damaged adrenal glands due to severe stress, such as from a car accident or an infection. These symptoms include sudden dizziness, vomiting, and even loss of consciousness.
This is called an autoimmune disorder. Addison's disease can develop if your immune system attacks your adrenal glands and severely damages your adrenal cortex. When 90% of the adrenal cortex is destroyed, your adrenal glands will not be able to produce enough of the steroid hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
Adrenal insufficiency is a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands don't make enough of certain hormones. The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys. Adrenal insufficiency can be primary, secondary, or tertiary. Primary adrenal insufficiency is often called Addison's disease.
Disease characterized by hypotension, weight loss, anorexia, weakness, and sometimes a bronze-like melanotic hyperpigmentation of the skin; due to tuberculosis or autoimmune induced disease (hypofunction) of the adrenal glands that results in deficiency of aldosterone and cortisol.
A hormonal disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands fail to release adequate amounts of glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone), and androgens (dehydroepiandrosterone) to meet physiologic needs, despite release of acth from the pituitary.
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.
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.
