Hello doctor i have question what's the consequences of having one adrenal gland?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NONE: You only need one.....it will make the necessary hormones (will "hypertrophy=grow)" ) to COMPENSATE for the missing gland...The PITUITARY or "master" gland will assure that happens! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
