Primary adrenal insufficiency or hypoadrenalism,
commonly referred to as Addisons disease, is a
rare disorder which occurs when the outer layer
of the adrenal glands gets damaged.
In this condition, the adrenal glands produce too
little cortisol and insufficient levels of
aldosterone.
While cortisol regulates the bodys reaction to
stressful situations, aldosterone helps with
sodium and potassium regulation.
