<sod>'''Addison’s disease''' is a long term [[endocrine disorder]] in which the [[adrenal gland]]s do not produce enough [[steroid hormone]]s (glucocorticoids and [[mineralocorticoid]]s). Symptoms are typically nonspecific and may include abdominal pain and weakness. Under certain circumstances, these progress to an [[Adrenal crisis|Addisonian crisis]], which may include [[shock (circulatory)|very low blood pressure]] and [[coma|unconsciousness]]. An adrenal crisis can be triggered by stress, such as from an accident, injury, surgery, or infection. It may result in death.                <eod>
