Question

addison disease is caused by

Answer 1

Addison's disease is caused by not enough production of harmones by adrenal glands

Answer 2

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER....

Adrenal insufficiency—when your adrenal glands don’t produce enough of the hormone cortisol—can be caused by a primary adrenal gland disorder (this is called Addison’s disease or primary adrenal insufficiency).
Alternatively, adrenal insufficiency can be caused by a deficiency of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH). ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, so if there’s too little ACTH, you may have low levels of cortisol (this is called secondary adrenal insufficiency).
Much more rare—but still a possible cause of adrenal insufficiency—is an injury to the hypothalamus, a gland in the brain that produces releasing and inhibiting hormones (hormones that tell the other endocrine glands to start and stop production). A hypothalamic injury can lead to a corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) deficiency. CRH is what tells the pituitary gland to produce ACTH, which then stimulates cortisol production in the adrenal glands. A CRH deficiency can lead to an ACTH deficiency—and then to adrenal insufficiency.
