Adrenal Disorders
Adrenal disorders are diseases that affect the adrenal glands, which are small hormone-producing glands located above the kidneys. These disorders can affect the production of hormones, such as cortisol and aldosterone, which play a major role in the body's response to stress, as well as the control of blood pressure and salt and water balance. Symptoms of adrenal disorders can include fatigue, weight loss, muscle weakness, and changes in appetite. Treatment of these disorders usually consists of replacing the hormones that are missing or in excess. Early diagnosis and proper management can result in better outcomes for those affected by adrenal disorders.
