The adrenal glands, also known as the suprarenal glands, sit on top of each kidney and produce hormones that regulate metabolism, blood pressure, stress response, and sexual development. When these glands do not function properly, it leads to adrenal gland disorder, adrenal dysfunction, adrenal gland disease, adrenal condition, adrenal insufficiency, or adrenal abnormality.
These disorders can cause serious health issues, including hormonal imbalance, fatigue, blood pressure changes, and metabolic complications. At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert endocrinologist specializes in diagnosing and treating endocrine adrenal disorders with compassionate care and advanced treatments.
Causes of Adrenal Gland Problems
Several conditions can cause adrenal dysfunction, including:
- Adrenal tumors or adrenal adenoma (benign growths)
- Pheochromocytoma – adrenaline-producing adrenal tumor
- Adrenal cancer (rare but serious)
- Addison’s disease (primary adrenal insufficiency) – where the adrenal glands cannot produce enough cortisol and aldosterone
- Secondary adrenal insufficiency due to pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction
- Cushing’s syndrome caused by cortisol imbalance (excess production)
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) – genetic disorder affecting adrenal hormone synthesis
- Pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction (problems in communication between the pituitary and adrenal glands)
- Long-term use of steroid medications
Symptoms of Adrenal Gland Disease
Adrenal conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms depending on whether the glands are overactive or underactive.
Symptoms of Adrenal Insufficiency (Underactive Adrenal Glands)
- Extreme fatigue and weakness
- Weight loss and loss of appetite
- Low blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting
- Darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) in Addison’s disease
- Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
- Salt cravings
Symptoms of Adrenal Overactivity (Overactive Adrenal Glands)
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen and face (“moon face”)
- High blood pressure and diabetes
- Purple stretch marks on the skin
- Muscle weakness and thinning of arms/legs
- Anxiety, mood swings, or sleep disturbances
- Excessive hair growth or irregular periods in women
Emergency Symptoms – Adrenal Crisis
- Severe weakness

- Confusion or loss of consciousness
Adrenal crisis is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is essential.
