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. We speak to an experienced consultant endocrinologist, who explains all you need to know.

Paediatric psoriasis: A parent’s guide

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition where skin cells grow at an accelerated rate, leading to red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. In children, this condition is known as paediatric psoriasis. Although psoriasis is more commonly seen in adults, children and even infants can develop it. This skin disorder is not contagious; it’s linked to immune system activity, which causes inflammation and rapid skin cell turnover. While it can be difficult to identify in children, recognising the signs and understanding the triggers can help manage the condition effectively.
