    Hypoadrenalism — also known as adrenal insufficiency — is when the adrenal glands don’t make enough cortisol due to adrenal gland damage (primary hypoadrenalism) or insufficient production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland (secondary hypoadrenalism).

    Hypoadrenalism falls under the Other category.
