    Adrenal Cortex Tumors – New Diagnostic Procedure on the Horizon

    A diagnosis of adrenal cortex tumors is a particularly complex task that requires new approaches. The adrenal glands play an extremely important role in hormone production, and the appearance of tumors can lead to a disruption of the body’s hormonal balance. Adrenal cortex tumors are rare, but their recognition is crucial for the quality of life and survival of the patient. The aim of developing scientific research is to create increasingly accurate and effective diagnostic methods for identifying adrenal cortex tumors. The frequency of adrenal cortex tumors increases with age, and in many cases, tumors are discovered during medical examinations conducted for other health problems. Most tumors are benign, but…

    Addison’s Disease – Effects of Adrenal Insufficiency

    Az Addison’s disease is a serious endocrine disorder characterized by a decrease in adrenal gland function. The adrenal glands play a key role in the body’s hormonal balance, and as a result of the disease, hormone production can dramatically decrease, leading to numerous health problems. The condition can manifest at any age and affects both men and women. Often, the underlying cause of the disease is an abnormal functioning of the body’s immune system, which attacks the cells of the adrenal glands. Damage to the adrenal glands can also be caused by cancer, infection, or bleeding. In infants and children, the disease may be attributed to genetic factors. Addison’s disease…
