Bilateral adrenal nodules

The kidney is a very important organ for our body, because it is the most important part of our urinary system. If there is something wrong with the kidney, our urinary system will also be seriously disturbed. Some patients may experience bilateral upper body weight loss. This phenomenon can be treated clinically. The disease can be cured by medication alone. So is it serious to have bilateral upper renal nodules?

The main cause of adrenal nodules is the hyperplasia of nodules caused by the patient's hyperadrenal function. Currently, the clinical treatment of this disease can be done not only through drug therapy but also through surgery.

Adrenal cortical hormone is an effective drug for treating sarcoidosis, but its effect is not as obvious as surgical treatment, so it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment in time. At the same time, you should pay more attention to diet care in your life. You should eat more foods rich in protein and high in vitamins. In addition, you should also pay attention to improving your body's resistance.

Hypercortisoneuria is a common endocrine disease that can be diagnosed based on certain clinical manifestations such as central obesity, erythrodysesthesia, hypertension and related biochemical tests. Once the diagnosis is made, the major task before the physician is to determine the cause of the increased cortisol secretion.

Depending on whether the secretion of cortisol is completely autonomous or controlled by ACTH, hypercortisolism can be divided into two major types. In about 70% of cases, increased cortisol secretion is related to ACTH, including pituitary ACTH tumors and increased ectopic ACTH secretion. In approximately 20% to 30% of cases, increased cortisol secretion is independent of ACTH, or is adrenal autonomous〔1〕.

In ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism, ACTH is normal or elevated, and high-dose dexamethasone can inhibit cortisol secretion in addition to ectopic ACTH secretion.
