bilateral adrenal hyperplasia
Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia is a condition where both adrenal glands become enlarged. The adrenal glands, located on top of each kidney, produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism and stress response. In this condition, the overproduction of hormones can lead to various health issues, such as high blood pressure and hormonal imbalances.
This enlargement can be caused by genetic factors or hormonal disorders, such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure hormone levels and imaging studies to assess the size of the adrenal glands. Treatment may include medication or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
