Endocrine pathology

Endocrine pathology

Endocrine pathology deals with either the overproduction or the underproduction of a hormone. Overproduction of a given hormone occurs due to hyperplasia of the organ that produces the hormone, by a neoplastic process, or by some combination of the two processes whereas Underproduction of a given hormone, may be caused by either destruction of the gland that produces the hormone or by conditions that deprive an endocrine organ of its normal trophic influence.
