E20-E35: Disorders of other endocrine glands
Disorders of other endocrine glands, categorized within the range of E20-E35, comprise a group of health conditions related to the malfunctioning of the body's endocrine system. This system produces and regulates hormones, which are essentially chemical messengers that influence many diverse bodily processes such as growth, metabolism, and mood. These disorders may arise due to various reasons including genetic factors, infection, injury, certain medications, tumors, or certain diseases. The symptoms experienced by the affected individuals can vary greatly and are typically dependent on which gland is malfunctioning and therefore, which hormone levels are altered. For instance, hormone underproduction may lead to fatigue and weakness, while hormone overproduction may result in weight loss and increased heart rate. These conditions can progress over time and may affect different body systems, depending on the type of hormone disturbed.
