Anatomy of the Adrenal Gland Your adrenal glands are two small openings at the top of each kidney, each divided into an outer cortex and an inner cortex: the cortex and layer of your adrenal glands produce different hormones. Adrenal Cortex :
The adrenal cortex is made up of three different regions, where each region produces a different group of hormones, chemically, all the hormones produced by your cortex are considered as steroids.

Cortical cortical hormones are excreted by the outer region of the adrenal cortex, the main mineral steroid being aldosterone, which regulates sodium and potbadium levels in the body, as well as blood pressure. The glucocorticoid is secreted in the central region of the adrenal glands, the main glucocorticoid being cortisol, which increases the level of glucose in the blood and helps the body react to stress, the third group of steroids produced by the adrenal cortex being the hormones androgens. The adrenal glands secrete two hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are released in response to stressful physical and emotional conditions such as sleep deprivation, financial anxiety, work stress, family problems , quarrels, traffic and diseases. , Surgery and malnutrition.

Primary Adrenal Failure :
Primary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, despite normal or increased corticotropin, and corticotropin is a hormone produced by the existing pituitary gland. In the brain that stimulates the adrenal glands to release hormones. Some of the symptoms of primary adrenal insufficiency include: fatigue, muscle aches, general weakness, loss of appetite with weight loss, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, desire to eat food salty and dizziness while standing.

The Relationship Between Adrenal Failure and Immune Thyroid Disease:
According to a study in the European Journal of Thyroid Journal, about 5% of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease suffer from adrenal insufficiency primary, a small percentage, but high given the rarity of adrenal insufficiency. With this finding, the authors of the study suggest that people who still suffer from certain symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle aches and gastrointestinal problems such as nausea (although they are treated with autoimmune thyroid diseases) Make sure that they do not suffer from primary adrenal insufficiency.

Note on Adrenal Fatigue :
It is important not to confuse primary adrenal insufficiency with the term "adrenal fatigue", which is used to describe a situation in which laboratory data (such as cortisol and corticotropin levels) The adrenal gland, but its symptoms are similar to the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency such as:

– fatigue and excessive fatigue
– sleep does not occur. is not refreshing (you sleep enough, but you feel tired.)
– inability to cope Stress
– Desire to eat salty foods
– difficulty concentrating, fog in the brain. [1] 9459006] – Indigestion. The concept of clinical fatigue is highly controversial and is not recognized as a medical condition, but the only company that still believes that adrenal fatigue is a real undiagnosed medical problem is the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, by the American Board of Medical Specialties or the American Medical Colleges Association.
