Adrenal Disorders

Our specialists can diagnose and treat patients with a wide variety of adrenal disorders, including but not limited to adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease), congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s syndrome, pituitary adenoma and adrenal cancers. Located above each of the kidneys, the adrenal glands are walnut-sized organs that play an important role in regulating a person’s blood sugar and blood pressure, responses to stress, and ability to burn fat and protein. When a benign or malignant growth on an adrenal gland results in the overproduction of certain hormones, surgical removal of the gland and tumor is the normal course of treatment.
