The most mon cause of hormone excess syndromes is hyperfunction of endocrine glands secondary to tumors of the glands or hyperplasia of several causes. Metabolic disorders ? Diabetes mellitus ? Hypoglycemia ? Hyperuricemia and gout ? Disorders of lipid metabolism ? Nutritional/vitamin deficiencies Symptoms and signs of endocrine and metabolic diseases ? Hormones affect the function of all tissues and an systems. ? Consequently, the symptoms and signs of endocrine disease are extremely diverse. ? They may vary from generalized, such as fatigue, to localized, such as weakness of the extraocular muscles. Generalized symptomes ? Weakness and fatigue ? Mental changes ? Unintended weight loss ? Weight gain ? Abnormal body temperature Hypersecretion of Adrenal Cortex Symptomes ? Ophthalmic abnormalities ? Abnormal skin pigmentation ? Hirsutism ? Gyneastia ? Galactorrhea ? Abnormal appetite ? Diarrhea Symptomes ? Anemia ? Tachycardia and bradycardia ? Polyuria ? Amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea ? Infertility ?
