A thorough history taken by an experienced provider or nutritional health coach remains the most effective method to determine Adrenal Fatigue status, surpassing any lab test. Laboratory tests should be utilized as supplementary tools, rather than the primary measure of adrenal function and recovery dec...
It’s We as patients have noted that it seems to be primarily due to the chronic stress caused by being undiagnosed (going by the lousy TSH lab test for one), or poorly treated with T4, mainly. It can also happen to those who had their thyroid removed. Adrenal issues can also occur ...
The major sequela of adrenal insufficiency in the critically ill is on the systemic inflammatory response (excessive inflammation) and cardiovascular function (hypotension). Until recently the exaggerated pro-inflammatory response that characterizes patients with systemic inflammation has focused on suppression...
With the background of tuberculosis and acute adrenal insufficiency diagnosed by laboratory test, bilateral enlargement of adrenal glands was considered most consistent with tuberculosis in our patient. Tuberculosis of the adrenal gland: a case report and review of the literature of infections of the ...
It would, therefore, be interesting to test adrenal gland function in patients who develop hypertension in response to anti-VEGF treatment56 by monitoring K+, aldosterone, and renin levels. It is important to point out that antibody-mediated scavenging of VEGF-A targets primarily circulating, and...
Primary adrenal insufficiency, which can be acute or chronic, may be caused by the anatomic destruction of the gland. This destruction can have various causes, including tuberculosis or fungal infection, other diseases infiltrating the adrenal glands, and hemorrhage. However, the most frequent cause ...

The classical way to evaluate hormone function is to surgically ablate the hormone-producing endocrine gland and substitute it with exogenously administered substances (extracts or synthetic hormones) (Biedl 1916). Many studies on the physiological role of adrenocortical hormones and the pharmacological eff...
As commented above, the adrenal gland comprises two distinct organs in their morphology, physiology, embryology, and function namely the cortex and the medulla. As they are so close, the question of whether they crosstalked arose. Two observations partially answered this question. On the one hand...
