Adrenal gland disorder?!


Question: Adrenal gland disorder!?
What is the adrenal gland disorder where the adrenal glands either fail to shut off or don't work at all!?

They might be two different things, but I'd be much obliged to know the names of those disordersWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Adrenal disorders can cause your adrenal glands to make too much or not enough hormones!. With Cushing's syndrome, there's too much cortisol, while with Addison's disease, there is too little!. Some people are born unable to make enough cortisol!. Tumors can also cause disorders in your adrenal glands!. Bleeding and infection can cause an adrenal gland problem that can be fatal without quick treatment!.

adrenal glans situated on top of each kidney consists of cortex and medulla has been divided in three main areas
granulosa secreting aldosterone which is a potent vasoconstrictor and water sodium reabsorbant
fasiculosa which is area which releases cortisone works in body metabolism is in proteins fats and carbohydrate metabolism
the third area is reticulosa which releases androgen reproductive hormone
the aldosteron is released when renin secretd by kidneys acts on the adrenals
the cortisol and androgens are released by adrenals in response to ACTH secreted by pituitary
the CUSHING SYNDROME when there is no ACTH coming from pitutary and CUSHING DISEASE when enough ACTH present but adrenals have local defect and cant release the cortisol
one other pathology of adrenal is CAH congenital adrenal hyperplasia
