[edit on Wikidata] Pituitary ACTH hypersecretion (or Cushing disease) is a form of hyperpituitarism characterized by an abnormally high level of ACTH produced by the anterior pituitary. It is one of the causes of Cushing's syndrome. (However, Cushing's syndrome can be caused by many other causes, including exogenous administration.) ^ Drouin J, Bilodeau S, Vallette S (September 2007). Of old and new diseases: genetics of pituitary ACTH excess (Cushing) and deficiency.
Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands are damaged and cannot produce enough of the hormone cortisol (hydrocortisone), and often the hormone aldosterone. Secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the pituitary gland in the brain fails to produce enough adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).
