A member asked:
If your right kidney has shut down completely does that mean you attached renal gland has shut down also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not. necessarily: The adrenal gland that is proximate to the kidney is an endocrine secreting hormones into the bloodstream and separate from the kidney making urine. You Don,t say why the kidney shut down. If it was a destructive process like a tumor it could invade the adrenal gland, but if it,s not a potentially destructive process the adrenal gland should work properly and secrete hormone.
