#glandular_disease__glandulardisease__gland_disease__glanddisease__glandular_disorder__glandulardisorder__adenosis  a disorder of the glands of the body
  supertype:  disorder.state__upset  condition in which there is a disturbance of normal functioning; "the doctor prescribed some medicine for the disorder"; "everyone gets stomach upsets from time to time"
  subtype:  hyperparathyroidism  excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone resulting in abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood; can affect many systems of the body (especially causing bone resorption and osteoporosis)
  subtype:  hypoparathyroidism  inadequate secretion of parathyroid hormone resulting in abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood
  subtype:  hyperpituitarism  excessive activity of the pituitary gland (especially overactivity of the anterior lobe which leads to excess secretion of growth hormone)
  subtype:  Addison's_disease__Addison's_syndrome__hypoadrenalism__hypoadrenocorticism  a glandular disorder caused by failure of function of the cortex of the adrenal gland and marked by anemia and prostration with brownish skin
  subtype:  adenopathy  a glandular disease or enlargement of glandular tissue (especially of the lymph glands)
  subtype:  aldosteronism__hyperaldosteronism  a condition caused by over-production of aldosterone
  subtype:  Cushing's_disease__hyperadrenalism  a glandular disorder caused by excessive ACTH resulting in greater than normal functioning of the adrenal gland; characterized by obesity
  subtype:  Cushing's_syndrome__hyperadrenocorticism  a glandular disorder caused by excessive cortisol
  subtype:  diabetes  any of several metabolic disorders marked by excessive urination and persistent thirst
     subtype:  diabetes_mellitus__DM  diabetes caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin and characterized by polyuria; "when doctors say `diabetes' they usually mean `diabetes mellitus'"
        subtype:  Type_I_diabetes__insulin-dependent_diabetes_mellitus__IDDM__juvenile-onset_diabetes__juvenile_diabetes__growth-onset_diabetes__ketosis-prone_diabetes__ketoacidosis-prone_diabetes__autoimmune_diabetes  severe diabetes mellitus with an early onset; characterized by polyuria and excessive thirst and increased appetite and weight loss and episodic ketoacidosis; diet and insulin injections are required to control the disease
        subtype:  Type_II_diabetes__non-insulin-dependent_diabetes_mellitus__NIDDM__non-insulin-dependent_diabetes__ketosis-resistant_diabetes_mellitus__ketosis-resistant_diabetes__ketoacidosis-resistant_diabetes_mellitus__ketoacidosis-resistant_diabetes__adult-onset_diabetes_mellitus__adult-onset_diabetes__maturity-onset_diabetes_mellitus__maturity-onset_diabetes  mild form of diabetes mellitus that develops gradually in adults; can be precipitated by obesity or severe stress or menopause or other factors; can usually be controlled by diet and hypoglycemic agents without injections of insulin
        subtype:  latent_diabetes__chemical_diabetes  a mild form of diabetes mellitus in which there are no overt symptoms but there are abnormal responses to some diagnostic procedures
     subtype:  diabetes_insipidus  a rare form of diabetes resulting from a deficiency of vasopressin (the pituitary hormone that regulates the kidneys); characterized by the chronic excretion of large amounts of pale dilute urine which results in dehydration and extreme thirst
        subtype:  nephrogenic_diabetes_insipidus  diabetes insipidus caused by a failure of the kidney to respond to normal levels of vasopressin
  subtype:  hyperthyroidism__thyrotoxicosis  an overactive thyroid gland; pathologically excessive production of thyroid hormones or the condition resulting from excessive production of thyroid hormones
     subtype:  Graves'_disease__exophthalmic_goiter  exophthalmos occurring in association with goiter; hyperthyroidism with protrusion of the eyeballs
  subtype:  hypothyroidism  an underactive thyroid gland; a glandular disorder resulting from insufficient production of thyroid hormones
     subtype:  myxedema__myxoedema  hypothyroidism marked by dry skin and swellings around lips and nose as well as mental deterioration
     subtype:  cretinism  severe hypothyroidism resulting in physical and mental stunting
