Symptoms of adrenal malignant tumors

summary

Adrenal tumors are mainly divided into two categories. The first category is functional adrenal tumors, which have endocrine function; The second type is pulmonary functional adrenal tumor, which has no endocrine function. Functional adrenal tumor refers to endocrine dysfunction caused by adrenal medulla and splenic tumor; Nonfunctional adrenal tumors refer to adrenal and splenic tumors, which do not cause endocrine abnormalities. Adrenal tumors can be divided into three categories: hypercortisolism, pheochromocytoma and primary aldosteronism. Let's talk about the symptoms of adrenal malignant tumor.

Hypokalemia can lead to arrhythmia, cerebral hypoxia syndrome, polyuria and nocturia caused by renal dysfunction. When the pancreas is affected, fasting blood glucose is increased.
