Polyglandular hyperfunction is a disorder in which multiple endocrine glands produce too much of their hormones, leading to an overactive endocrine system. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including weight loss, fatigue, and increased appetite. the underlying cause of the disorder is not known, but it is thought to be caused by an autoimmune process.
What happens during the disease - polyglandular hyperfunction
Polyglandular hyperfunction is a condition in which the body produces an excessive amount of hormones, leading to an overactive immune system. this can be caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s own immune system attacks and destroys the cells of the endocrine glands, resulting in the overproduction of hormones. it can also be caused by tumors of the endocrine glands or by certain medications. in either case, the overproduction of hormones can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight loss, and excessive sweating.
