부신기능저하증 증상Adrenal insufficiency is a disease in which the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of steroid hormones (mainly cortisol). This may include decreased production of aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid), which is responsible for sodium retention, calcium secretion, and water retention.[1][2] Craving salt and high-salt foods is common due to urinary loss of sodium.[3]
There are three main types of adrenal insufficiency:
Symptoms include hypoglycemia, dehydration, weight loss, and disorientation. Additional symptoms include weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure (may cause collapse when standing), circulatory collapse, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
