Adrenal gland disorders: what patients need to know

The adrenal glands are a pair of small glands that sit just above each kidney. Despite their size, they play a vital role in regulating many of our body’s essential functions, including metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response. They produce hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone, each of which has a distinct function in keeping the body balanced. Adrenal gland disorders occur when these glands produce either too much or too little of these critical hormones, leading to various symptoms and health issues.
