Adrenal disorders can manifest with general symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and muscle weakness, making them difficult to identify. Accurate diagnosis and treatment is essential, as adrenal disorders can mimic other medical conditions. At Utah Endocrinology Associates, our specialists have extensive experience diagnosing and treating adrenal disorders.
The adrenal glands are small, triangular glands located on top of each kidney. Despite their size, they play a powerful role in your health by producing vital hormones that regulate your body’s stress response, metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and other essential functions.
When the adrenal glands release too much or too little hormone, it can lead to a range of serious health conditions known as adrenal disorders.
The adrenal glands release several important hormones into the bloodstream, including:
Hormone Overproduction:
Hormone Underproduction:
Nonfunctioning Adrenal Tumors:
