Endocrine Disorders

Meaning

Endocrine Disorders are a diverse group of clinical conditions resulting from an imbalance in the production, secretion, or action of hormones within the body’s endocrine system. These disorders typically involve the hyper- or hypo-function of one or more endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, or pancreas. Manifestations can range from subtle metabolic shifts to severe, life-threatening crises, affecting nearly every physiological process, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, and mood. Effective management requires precise diagnosis and targeted hormone replacement or suppression therapy.
