Question 4

what causes adrenal gland problems?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: "adrenal problems" is a very broad question. Your adrenal produces hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline. We need these hormones to sustain life; they are increased in response to stress. Adrenal failure can be from autoimmunity; adrenal overactivity from tumors.  Alternative practitioners often allege “adrenal fatigue” from chronic stress. See an endocrinologist for adrenal problems.

Question 5

could one live without an adrenal gland?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: Hi. You have 2 adrenal glands. If one has to be removed, don't worry, you'll do just fine with the one remaining! To your good health!

Question 6

how does my adrenal gland affect my body?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes: Addison's disease is an autoimmune disease which harms the cortex of the adrenal glands. However, anything that damages the adrenal cortex can also cause primary adrenal insufficiency.

Question 7

describe the function of the adrenal gland?

Accepted Answer

Multifunctional: Very briefly, the adrenal gland can be divided between the cortex and medulla.  The cortex makes a variety of hormones which control salt balance, cortisol, and androgens.  The medulla primarily secretes norepinephrine and epinephrine. Functions of medulla and cortex are completely different as are the way their hormones are made and how they work.

Question 8

what does the adrenal gland do for a person?

Accepted Answer

Adrenal gland: This is a very important hormone.
I recommend you go online and look for articles designed for non-doctors that will give you a lot of understandable information about the adrenal gland and others.
Once you have read a few articles and still have questions, don't hesitate to ask again!

Question 9

how to tell if i have problems with my adrenal gland?

Accepted Answer

See endocrinologist: Hi. Many types of adrenal problems are possible, including under-production and over-production of various hormones, tumors (benign or malignant), hemorrhage, infection, etc, etc. See an endocrinologist if your doctor thinks you have an adrenal problem.

Question 10

which test is done to see which adrenal gland is bad?

Accepted Answer

No easy answer: It depends on what you mean by "bad".  If you have adrenal insufficiency, then both glands have to be bad and you need an ACTH stim test.  If there is a mass, then a CT or MRI can evaluate it.  If one gland is overproducing a hormone, then you may need a complicated procedure to draw blood from the veins that drain each gland.  See your endocrinologist.
