sequela of unilateral adrenalectomy


Restoring balance, restoring life.
One adrenal gland resection sequela, because adrenal gland tumor or adrenal gland obvious hyperplasia, we need to do adrenal gland resection. Under normal circumstances, consider one adrenal gland tumor is malignant, we need to remove one adrenal gland completely; if consider benign tumor, normal I will do adrenal gland preservation tumor resection. When one adrenal gland is completely removed, what clinical symptoms will appear? If the tumor on this side is functional, say hypercortisolism, we remove the adrenal gland on this side, because the adrenal gland can secrete more hormones, remove the adrenal gland on this side, because the tumor causes, the function of secreting hormones is stronger, so that the adrenal gland on the other side cannot secrete a lot of hormones in a short period of time, thus causing hormone deficiency in the body, thus showing some clinical symptoms. This clinical symptom is often more serious, so we need to supplement the hormone deficiency in the body through drugs, and then wait until the adrenal function of the other side slowly recovers before the drug can be slowly discontinued.
