Adrenal and Thyroid Disorders
Adrenal organs are little organs that sit on top of each kidney. They
produce hormones that you can't live without, like as sex hormones and
cortisol. Cortisol influences how you react to stress and has a variety of
other important functions. There is too much cortisol in Cushing's disease,
whereas it is too little in Addison's disease. Thyroid organ
influences practically all metabolic types in your body. Thyroid clogs can
range from a minor, harmless goitre (expanded organ) that does not require
treatment to life-threatening malignancy. Hyperthyroidism is characterised by
an excess of thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient hormone
production.
