Adrenal gland disorders
Adrenal gland disorders are a group of disorders that affect the adrenal glands, which are small organs that sit above the kidneys that secrete important hormones. These hormones are responsible for maintaining body fluid and electrolyte levels, and helps us responds to stress. The disorders can lead to over or under-secretion of the hormones.
