Schmidt's Syndrom

Schmidt's Syndrome, also known as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2, is a rare disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks multiple endocrine glands. This leads to deficiencies in hormones produced by organs like the adrenal glands and the thyroid. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight changes, low blood pressure, and digestive issues. Because multiple glands are involved, diagnosis can be complex. Treatment focuses on managing hormone deficiencies, typically with hormone replacement therapy, to help restore normal body functions and improve quality of life.
