endocrinopathies

Endocrinopathies are disorders caused by problems with the endocrine system, which is made up of glands that release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones regulate many important body functions, including growth, metabolism, and mood. When something goes wrong—in either hormone production or hormone action—it can lead to various health issues. Common examples include diabetes (insulin issues), thyroid disorders (like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism), and adrenal gland disorders (like Cushing's syndrome). Diagnosis often involves blood tests, and treatment can include medications, lifestyle changes, or hormone replacement therapy, depending on the specific condition.
