Addison's Disease (Hypoadrenocorticism)
Addison's disease is essentially the opposite of Cushing's disease, that is hypoadrenocorticism as opposed to hyperadrenocorticism. Primary hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease) results from a deficient production of glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid or both due to bilateral destruction of all of the layers of the adrenal cortex.
