What is the difference between adrenal thickening and hyperplasia?


Healing with compassion, caring with dedication.
Adrenal gland thickening is mainly a part of the adrenal gland showing an enlarged structure, such as an adrenal gland showing thickening. Adrenal hyperplasia refers to a process in which the overall volume of the adrenal gland increases, mainly because each cell of the adrenal gland increases in volume and shows hyperplasia. At this stage, for adrenal gland local thickening and adrenal gland volume hyperplasia, it is mainly to see whether this pathological change has caused changes in endocrine hormone levels. If hormone levels change and cause physiological function changes, it is necessary to treat adrenal gland changes at this time. The main difference between thickening and hyperplasia mainly depends on whether there are abnormal changes in physiological functions. If it is only a morphological abnormality, there is no big difference between so-called thickening and hyperplasia, only local changes in thickening., hyperplasia is a change that belongs to the entire gland.
