Left adrenal gland thickening considers the possibility of left adrenal cortex hyperplasia, which mainly depends on whether it causes endocrine dysfunction, which can be asymptomatic or manifested as adrenal hormone disorder symptoms. The adrenal cortex mainly secretes three major hormones, namely glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid and sex hormone. Hormone secretion is different, resulting in different clinical symptoms, can be manifested as non-functional, can also be manifested as functional, non-functional clinical problems mainly refers to no endocrine biochemical abnormalities, and no corresponding endocrine disorders symptoms and signs. There is also subclinical adrenal hyperplasia, which can produce endocrine active substances, but the secretion is not enough to produce obvious clinical symptoms and signs, such as subclinical cortisol syndrome, subclinical primary aldosteronism. Functional cortical hyperplasia occurs in adrenal cortical hyperplasia, which can secrete different hormones and cause corresponding endocrine dysfunction and clinical symptoms and signs. The most common ones are cortisol syndrome and aldosteronism.
