Addison's disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the adrenal glands, leading to insufficient production of hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. This immune response is often triggered by specific antibodies that target adrenal cells. As a result, individuals may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure. The condition highlights the role of immune dysfunction in disrupting normal hormonal regulation.
The definition of an immune system disease is a disease that causes over- or underactivity of the immune system. When the immune system is overactive, this is called an autoimmune disease.
