results from damage to the adrenal cortex. The damage causes the cortex to produce less of its hormones.
This damage may be caused by the following:
The immune system attacking the gland (autoimmune disease)
Infections such as tuberculosis, HIV, or fungal infections
Hemorrhage, blood loss
Tumors
Use of blood-thinning drugs (anticoagulants)
