Short Note on Adrenal Diseases

Tarunkanti Mondal

Adrenal diseases encompass a group of disorders affecting the adrenal glands, small organs responsible for producing essential hormones. This abstract provides a brief overview of adrenal diseases, including Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) and Cushing's syndrome (hypercortisolism). Addison's disease results from inadequate hormone production, often due to autoimmune responses or other factors. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure. Treatment involves hormone replacement therapy to manage symptoms effectively. Cushing's syndrome arises from excessive cortisol levels, caused by various factors like corticosteroid use or tumors. Symptoms include weight gain, high blood pressure, and mood swings. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve surgery or targeted therapies. While adrenal diseases are relatively rare, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to manage symptoms and maintain overall health. Regular medical evaluation and adherence to prescribed therapies can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.
