Question

WHAT IS THE DANGER OF MASS BUILD-UP ON THE ADRENAL GLAND?

Answer 1

The adrenal gland is reponsible for alot of hormone (epinephrine, norepinephrine or adrenaline)(sex hormones and also cortisol and aldosterone. Any one of these hormones can build up causing life threatening problems.



The most serious would be a tumor that increases the amount of adrenaline because it raises your blood pressure and heart rate and you can die from that.
