Adrenal

Conditions:

  • Cushing’s Disease
  • Addison’s Disease
  • Adrenal Insufficiency
  • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Clinic Expectations: I diagnose patients with adrenal diseases based on diagnostic criteria from the Endocrine Society.   Endocrine Society does not recognize Adrenal Fatigue. I commonly encounter physiologic hypercortisolism, which is where the body secretes excess cortisol in response to stressors. In this situation, we can discuss/intervene on the root causes.
