Adrenal Diseases » Adrenal Gland Diseases
The benign masses of adrenal glands are called as "adrenal adenomas". Adrenal adenomas can secrete hormones, but 70% of them do not secrete hormones.
Aldosterone producing adrenal tumors
- These tumors are usually small and benign.
- These tumors are called as adrenal adenomas or suprarenal adenomas.
- Headache, muscle weakness, hypertension, drinking too much water, frequent urination
- In patients, aldosterone level is found to be high, sodium level is found to be high, potassium level is found to be low.
- Sometimes it is difficult to diagnose, after detailed examination of long term hypertensive patients, a tumor that secretes aldosterone is detected to be the cause.
- The treatment is the removal of the adrenal gland with tumor.
