Types of disease

Broadly speaking, endocrine disorders may be subdivided into three groups:

1. Endocrine gland hypofunction/hyposecretion (leading to hormone deficiency)
2. Endocrine gland hyperfunction/hypersecretion (leading to hormone excess)
3. Tumours (benign or malignant) of endocrine glands
