What is Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (aka - MACS)? MACS is the most common benign hormone-secreting adrenal tumor and is associated with metabolic comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and increased cardiovascular risks. #NADF #ADAM26

If you’ve been diagnosed with #PrimaryAldosteronism, surgery can help some patients. Blood pressure may improve, you may be able to stop potassium supplements, and you may feel better with treatment. Ask your care team if you're a candidate for surgery. #ADAM26 #NADF

When adrenal tumors make too much hormone… they are termed “functional”, and most often surgery is recommended. Functional syndromes can cause high blood pressure, weight gain, diabetes. Adrenal masses ≥1cm should undergo biochemical evaluation. #ADAM26 @NADF @PheoParaAlliance
