Addison's disease

[Kelly Briter]

Addison's disease is a uncommon disorder in which the adrenal glandular generates inadequate amounts of anabolic steroid testosterone. Addison's disease is also known as serious adrenal inadequacy, hypocortisolism or hypocorticism.

The disease is characterized by weight-loss, muscle weak point, exhaustion, low hypertension level, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both revealed and nonexposed parts of the body. In Addison's illness, your adrenals generate too little cortisol, which is one of the testosterone in a group known as the glucocorticoids. Addison's illness happens when the adrenals do not generate enough of the hormonal cortisol and, in some cases, the hormonal aldosterone. It may develop in children as well as adults, and may happen as the result of a large number of underlying causes.

Addison's disease is a disorder that occurs when your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones produced by your adrenal glands. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often insufficient levels of aldosterone as well.
Also called adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease occurs in all age groups and affects both sexes. Addison's disease can be life-threatening.

Treatment for Addison's disease involves taking hormones to replace the insufficient amounts being made by your adrenal glands, in order to mimic the beneficial effects produced by your naturally made hormones.
