Endocrine Damage

Meaning

Endocrine Damage refers to any structural or functional impairment affecting one or more glands or tissues that constitute the body’s intricate endocrine system. This pathology compromises the normal synthesis, secretion, transport, action, or precise regulation of hormones, resulting in a state of hormonal deficiency or excess. The resulting clinical syndrome reflects the specific gland affected, profoundly impacting core physiological processes such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and overall systemic homeostasis. This damage can manifest as primary gland failure or secondary regulatory dysfunction.
