Primary Adrenal Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Primary adrenal insufficiency is a disorder in which the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, do not produce enough hormones, especially those that help regulate the body's balance and its response to stress.
Common symptoms: persistent fatigue, weakness, weight loss, low blood pressure, salt cravings, and, at times, darkening of the skin.
Origin: it occurs due to damage to the adrenal glands themselves, which limits their hormone production.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the professional who studies disorders of the glands and hormones, including primary adrenal insufficiency; in children, the pediatrician takes part in the evaluation. If you have unexplained fatigue along with these signs, it is worth bringing it up with a specialist for evaluation.
