Diseases of the Endocrine System are common, such as diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease.
Endocrinopathies can occur with any of these. Hypofunction can occur as result of loss of reserve, hyposecretion, agenesis, atrophy, destruction, etc. Hyperfunction can occur as result of hypersecretion, loss of suppression, tumor, hyperplasia, etc.
Endocrinopathies are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.
Primary is target organ dysfunction and is normally associated with increased or decreased secretory hormones. Secondary is a dysfunction that originates elsewhere like the pituitary gland and is normally associated with increased or decreased production of trophic factors. Tertiary is associated with dysfunction of the hypothalamus and its releasing hormones.

All the endocrine disorders are due to either hyposecretion (not enough produced) or hypersecretion (too much produced) of hormones. The effects of either situation can range from mild to severe and even fatal.
