Adrenocortical insufficiency

Description

A condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of steroid hormones, primarily cortisol. It may also include impaired production of aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid), which regulates sodium conservation, potassium secretion, and water retention and also accompanies impaired production of adrenal androgens.
