The adrenal glands, located above each kidney, produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune function, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress.
Cortisol: Helps regulate metabolism, reduces inflammation, and aids in stress response.
Aldosterone: Regulates blood pressure by controlling sodium and potassium levels.
Adrenaline (epinephrine) and Norepinephrine: Involved in the body’s fight-or-flight response to stress.
Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, adrenal insufficiency, and adrenal tumors.
Medication: Corticosteroid replacement for Addison’s disease; medications to control cortisol levels for Cushing’s syndrome.
Surgery: Adrenalectomy (removal of one or both adrenal glands) for tumors.
Hormone Replacement Therapy: Necessary if the adrenal glands are removed or underactive.
