Pituitary and Adrenal disorders

The pituitary and adrenal glands are responsible for releasing hormones into your body. Hormones control many important functions. If you have a disorder of the pituitary or adrenal gland, you are either making too much or not making enough of a certain hormone.

Adrenal disorders are the result of your glands making too much or not enough of certain hormones. Hormones produced by the adrenals include hydrocortisone (also called cortisol), adrenaline and aldosterone.Adrenal disorders are the result of your glands making too much or not enough of certain hormones.
