Adrenalectomy in Khenifra

Urologist

The adrenal glands are located above the corresponding kidney. These are so-called endocrine glands that produce adrenal hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, stress hormones (especially adrenaline) and a small fraction of the sex hormones (estrogen and androgens)) involved in controlling blood pressure, l ionic balance of the blood, the use of water in the body, the use of glucose and the stress response. The most common reason for the removal of an adrenal gland is the excessive production of hormones by a tumor, which is usually benign. The intervention is necessary because, if left untreated, this tumor puts you at risk of complications that can ultimately lead to disability or death. Removal of the adrenal gland may also be necessary with a large lesion or risk of cancer.
