| Addisons Disease |
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.
