E20-E35: Disorders of other endocrine glands
E34: Other endocrine disorders
The group of conditions known as "Other endocrine disorders" refers to a range of health problems that affect the endocrine system. The endocrine system is made of glands that produce and distribute hormones, which are crucial for different bodily functions like metabolism, growth, and mood. Disorders in this group happen when these glands either produce too much or too little hormones, or when the body doesn't use hormones correctly. Common symptoms of endocrine disorders may include unexplained weight gain or weight loss, excessive tiredness, irritability, and changes in heart rate. The exact cause of these disorders varies, and they can be influenced by a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits. These conditions can progress over time and have a significant impact on multiple bodily systems.
