The adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure, metabolism, stress, and energy levels. When these glands are overactive or underactive, symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or high blood pressure may occur. Dr. MK Azad evaluates adrenal function using hormone tests and imaging scans. Conditions such as Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, or adrenal tumours are identified and treated with proper medical care. With targeted therapy and follow-up, adrenal health is restored, and quality of life is improved.

🔍 Common Adrenal Disorders Treated:

• Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s Disease)

• Cushing’s Syndrome (excess cortisol)

• Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

• Adrenal Tumors or Nodules

• Pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor causing high BP)

• Hyperaldosteronism (excess aldosterone causing hypertension)

🩺 Step-by-Step Adrenal Treatment Procedure:

1. Initial Assessment & Symptom Review

   • Evaluation of fatigue, weight changes, blood pressure issues, abnormal hair growth, skin darkening, and salt cravings

   • Review of medical history, medications, and stress factors

2. Hormonal & Diagnostic Testing

   • Blood tests: cortisol, ACTH, aldosterone, renin, and electrolyte levels

   • 24-hour urinary free cortisol test or salivary cortisol test

   • ACTH stimulation test or dexamethasone suppression test

   • Imaging (CT or MRI of adrenal glands if needed)

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

   • For Adrenal Insufficiency: Hormone replacement therapy with hydrocortisone or fludrocortisone

   • For Cushing’s Syndrome: Medication to reduce cortisol or surgery if tumor is present

   • For Adrenal Tumors: Monitoring or surgical removal depending on size and activity

   • For Pheochromocytoma: Blood pressure control and surgical planning

   • For CAH: Hormone therapy and long-term growth management

4. Ongoing Monitoring & Lifestyle Advice

   • Regular follow-up to adjust medications and manage side effects

   • Dietary guidance to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent adrenal crises

   • Stress management training for chronic adrenal patients
