Video Summary
Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient amounts of hormones. The most common type is hypoadrenalism, which refers to insufficient production of cortisol. This can lead to some symptoms and health problems, including fatigue, weakness, weight loss, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, it can even be life-threatening.
Adrenal insufficiency is divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary adrenal insufficiency is due to a problem with the adrenal gland itself, while secondary adrenal insufficiency is due to a problem with the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland controls the production of cortisol by the adrenal gland.
