Adrenal Hypofunction

If the adrenal gland is not producing enough hormones, this is hypofunction.

Primary adrenal insufficiency: lack of adrenal hormones due to a problem with the adrenal gland itself.

Secondary adrenal insufficiency: lack of adrenal hormones due to a lack of its precursor, ACTH.

Adrenal enzyme defects: congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
