What are the common diseases of the adrenal glands

Common adrenal diseases include primary aldosteronism, Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma and so on. 1. Primary aldosteronism: Aldosterone secretion is increased due to adrenal cortical lesions such as aldosterone tumor. Aldosterone has the physiological effect of sodium retention and potassium excretion, and the clinical manifestations of hypertension and hypokalemia may appear. 2. Cushing’s syndrome: mainly due to the excessive secretion of glucocorticoid hormone, it can appear centripetal obesity, full moon face, polycythemia, purple lines and other manifestations. 3. Pheochromocytoma: it can lead to massive catecholamine release and vasoconstriction. Typical episodes manifest as paroxysmal elevation of blood pressure with tachycardia, headache, sweating, pallor, and so on. When adrenal disease appears, you need to go to the regular hospital in time for examination to determine the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
