Adrenal Disorders
The
adrenal glands are orange-colored endocrine glands which are located on the top
of both kidneys.
The adrenal glands are triangular shaped
and measure about one-half inch in height and 3 inches in length. Each gland
consists of a medulla (the center of the gland) which is surrounded by the
cortex.
The
medulla is responsible for producing epinephrine and norepinephrine
(adrenaline). The adrenal cortex produces other hormones necessary for fluid and
electrolyte (salt) balance in the body such as cortisone and aldosterone. The
adrenal cortex also makes sex hormones but this only becomes important if
overproduction is present.
-
Addison's disease - Rare autoimmune disease of the adrenal glands.
-
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia - Congenital genetic disease with insufficiency of the adrenal glands
-
Adrenal cancer - Cancer of the adrenal gland
-
Adrenal insufficiency - Adrenal insufficiency is a failure by the adrenal gland to output enough hormones. Severe or chronic cases, see Addison's disease, which is a common cause of adrenal failure. Adrenal gland failure may cause an Addisonian crisis.
-
Pheochromocytoma - Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor in the adrenal glands that causes excess secretion of catecholamines. This leads mainly to hypertension but can also lead to hyperglycemia and diabetes-like symptoms. Only about 1 in a 1000 people with hypertension have a pheochromocytoma.
