In some cases, they represent benign lesions that may secrete hormones that can affect a patient’s blood pressure or steroid/sugar levels. The vast majority are discovered during an examination that is being performed for reasons other than suspected adrenal disease. Most adrenal lesions represent benign nonfunctioning masses called adenomas. Overproduction of these hormones may be due to a tumor of the adrenal gland, which is an indication for your doctor to send you for a urologic consultation. Both deficiency and overproduction of these hormones can cause significant problems. The adrenal medulla is responsible for producing epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline), with effects on blood pressure and bodily stress responses. The adrenal androgen hormones regulate sexual characteristics. Aldosterone is necessary for fluid and electrolyte balance, which affects your blood pressure. Cortisol has important effects on heart, blood pressure, metabolism and your immune system. The adrenal cortex produces glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone), and androgens (sex hormones). The two parts of the adrenal glands, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla, perform separate functions and produce separate hormones.
