| 0 comments

In the body there are two adrenal glands, each having a weight of approximately 4 grams. This gland is located in the superior pole of the kidney. The adrenal medulla is the adrenal glands inside which occupies 20% of the adrenal glands.

The hormones produced are:
1.Epinefrin (80%)
2.Nor-epinephrine (20%)

Epinephrine
Effects were about the same as nor-epinephrine. A difference that can be noted is:

1. Epinefrin have metabolic effects of 5-10 times greater than nor-epinephrine. Consequently, stimulation of the heart also becomes larger.
2. Blood vessel constriction in the kidneys, decreasing or inhibiting blood flow to the nephrons.

Nor-epinephrine
Present in the blood circulation causes constriction of blood vessels throughout the body. This leads to increased cardiac activity, inhibition of gastrointestinal tract, and the eye pupil dilation.

Adrenal gland dysfunction classification

a. Hyperfunctioning adrenal gland

-Syndrome Cushing

  • Cushing’s syndrome is caused by excessive secretion of adrenocortical steroids, particularly cortisol. Clinical symptoms can also be found by a synthetic corticosteroid administration of pharmacological doses

-Sindrom Adrenogenital

  • Diseases caused by partial or complete failure, one or several enzymes required for the synthesis of steroids

-Hiperaldosteronism

  • Primary Hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome)
    Can be caused by either unilateral disease (i.e. hyperactivity in one adrenal gland) or bilateral disease (i.e. hyperactivity in both adrenal glands).
  • Secondary aldosteronism
    The adrenal glands are underactive because the pituitary gland is not stimulating them, not because the adrenal glands have been destroyed or have otherwise directly failed.

b. Adrenal gland hypofunction insufficiency adrenogenital:

  •  Acute adrenocortical insufficiency (adrenal crisis)
    Disorder that occurs due to absolute or relative deficiency of cortisol that occurs suddenly in connection pain / stress.
  • Chronic Primary adrenocortical insufficiency (Addison’s disease)
    Disorders caused by working kegagaln corticosteroids but relatively more important is gluko and mineralocorticoid deficiency.
  • Adreno Cortical Insufficiency Secondary
    This disorder is part of the anterior pituitary failure sinsrom response to ACTH or chronic obstructed because of the adrenal atrophy.

Cushing’s syndrome in Childhood
