Adrenal Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the body shows marked fatigue, dizziness, or persistent changes that are not easily explained, one of the possibilities to study is adrenal insufficiency, a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, such as cortisol, needed to regulate vital functions.
Frequent symptoms:
- Intense fatigue and weakness
- Dizziness or low blood pressure
- Loss of appetite and weight
- Changes in skin coloration
Possible causes: It may be due to disorders of the glands themselves or of the structures that regulate their functioning.
Which specialist treats it?: Its study corresponds to the endocrinologist and, in children, to the pediatric endocrinologist. If the symptoms are persistent or intensify, the most sensible thing is to have a professional evaluate the case and guide the hormonal tests.
