Adrenal Gland Disorders

Accurate diagnosis of adrenal gland disorders is crucial for effective management. At Diabetes & Endocrine Specialist of Southwest Ohio, we employ a range of investigative techniques to evaluate adrenal function and identify potential abnormalities.

Initial assessments may involve detailed medical history reviews and physical examinations. Biochemical testing, including blood and urine analysis, is essential to measure hormone levels such as cortisol, aldosterone, and catecholamines. Imaging studies, like CT scans or MRIs, can visualize the adrenal glands and detect tumors or structural changes. In some cases, specialized functional tests, such as the dexamethasone suppression test or adrenal vein sampling, may be required to precisely locate and characterize the source of hormonal imbalances.

Our goal is to provide a precise diagnosis, enabling us to tailor a specific treatment plan for each individual.
