Adrenal Disorder Treatment in Dubai
The adrenal glands and the hormones they control are important to many of your body’s functions. Untreated disorders can have serious complications. Some of them may be life-threatening. The adrenal glands make the hormones cortisol, aldosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. They also make hormones that your body uses to make sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone). All of these hormones do many important jobs, including:
- Turning food into energy and managing blood sugar levels
- Balancing salt and water
- Keeping blood pressure normal
- Responding to illness and stress
- Timing when and how fast a child develops sexually
- Supporting pregnancy

What causes adrenal gland disorders?
The causes of adrenal gland disorders vary depending on the specific type of disorder including:
- Medications: Certain drugs, like steroids, can impact adrenal function.
- Pituitary Gland Issues: Problems with the pituitary gland can affect hormone release, which in turn influences how the adrenal glands operate.
- Genetic Changes: Mutations in genes can lead to the adrenal glands producing too much or too little of certain hormones.
- Infections: Infections can also affect the adrenal glands.
What are the adrenal gland disorders?
- Addison’s Disease: A condition in which the adrenal glands don’t make enough cortisol.
- Cushing’s Syndrome: A condition caused by too much cortisol in the body, often from taking steroid medicines for a long time.
- Aldosterone Producing Adenoma: A benign tumor (not cancer) that makes too much aldosterone and may cause serious high blood pressure.
- Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma: An inherited condition causing different types of tumors that make adrenaline and other hormones. Some tumors may become cancerous.
- Adrenal Gland Cancer: Cancerous tumors, including adrenocortical carcinoma and neuroblastoma.
Symptoms of adrenal gland dysfunction often overlap with thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, and high blood pressure, which can complicate diagnosis without expert evaluation.
