About Adrenal Disorder

Adrenal disorder management by an endocrinologist involves the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the adrenal glands, which are small hormone-producing organs located above the kidneys. This is not a single procedure but a specialized medical process that includes detailed evaluation through blood tests, urine tests, and advanced imaging like CT or MRI scans. The endocrinologist analyzes hormone levels such as cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline to identify disorders like Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, or pheochromocytoma. Treatment is highly personalized and may involve medication management, lifestyle modifications, or, in some cases, referral for surgical intervention. The goal is to restore hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms, and prevent long-term complications associated with adrenal dysfunction.

Key Highlights

    Comprehensive hormonal evaluation and precise diagnosis by a specialist.Personalized, non-invasive treatment plans to restore endocrine balance.Management of complex symptoms like fatigue, hypertension, and weight changes.Prevention of serious long-term complications from untreated adrenal disorders.Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of therapy for optimal health outcomes.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Unexplained, persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, or weight loss/gain.
  • High blood pressure that is difficult to control with standard medications.
  • Abnormal electrolyte levels (like potassium or sodium) in blood tests.
  • Symptoms suggesting hormone excess (Cushing's: moon face, buffalo hump) or deficiency (Addison's: hyperpigmentation, dizziness).
  • Incidental discovery of an adrenal mass (adrenal incidentaloma) on imaging.
  • Suspicion of a tumor like a pheochromocytoma, causing episodic sweating, headaches, and palpitations.

How to prepare

  • Detailed consultation to discuss medical history, symptoms, and medications.
  • Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., steroids, diuretics) as advised by the endocrinologist, often for a specific period before testing.
  • Fasting or specific dietary instructions (like a high-salt diet) for certain blood and urine tests.
  • Collection of 24-hour urine samples as per precise instructions.
  • Scheduling of necessary imaging scans (CT/MRI) and any associated pre-scan preparations.

Risks & possible complications

  • Risks are primarily related to diagnostic procedures (like contrast allergy from imaging) or potential treatments.
  • Medication side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, mood changes, or bone density loss with long-term steroid use.
  • Hormonal imbalances during treatment adjustment, leading to temporary symptom flare-ups.
  • If surgery is recommended, associated risks include infection, bleeding, or anesthesia complications.
  • Rare complications from untreated disorders, including adrenal crisis (a life-threatening drop in cortisol).

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery is primarily medical management, not surgical. Patients follow a tailored medication regimen.
  • Regular follow-up appointments to monitor hormone levels and adjust treatment.
  • Lifestyle adjustments, including stress management, balanced diet, and adequate hydration.
  • Carrying a steroid emergency card/injection if diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency.
  • Gradual resolution of symptoms like energy levels and blood pressure normalization over weeks to months.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: Typically outpatient (0 days)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Ongoing management; symptom improvement in 2-8 weeks
