Adrenal Gland Disorders

Adrenal gland disorders cover various abnormalities in these glands located above the kidneys, which are responsible for producing hormones that regulate stress, blood pressure, salt balance, and metabolism.

Who evaluates them? The endocrinologist is the right professional to assess them; when they affect childhood, the pediatric endocrinologist is involved.

Possible manifestations: depending on the gland and the hormone involved, fatigue, weight changes, or changes in blood pressure or the skin may appear.

When is it worth having it checked? These are highly varied conditions that sometimes develop slowly. If you notice persistent symptoms without a clear explanation, a professional evaluation helps guide the assessment.
