True or false: Adrenal cortex secretes three major classes of hormones?
True
True or false: Adrenal incidentalomas are always hormonally active?
False
True or false: Controlled comparisons of perioperative management for patients with adrenal function disorders are lacking?
True
Which hormones are secreted by the adrenal cortex?
Androgens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids
What are adrenal incidentalomas?
Adrenal masses that are non-functioning
What percentage of adrenal incidentalomas are hormonally active?
30%
Match the following adrenal masses with their corresponding percentages:
Cortisone-secreting adenomas = 5.3% Pheochromocytomas = 5.1% Adrenal carcinomas = 4.7% Aldosterone-secreting adenomas = 1%
Match the following adrenal masses with their classification:
Hormonally active = 30% Not hormonally active = 82% Suspected metastatic disease = 2.5% Adrenal carcinomas = 4.7%
Match the following adrenal masses with their classification based on hormone secretion:
Cortisone-secreting adenomas = Hormonally active Pheochromocytomas = Hormonally active Adrenal carcinomas = Not hormonally active Aldosterone-secreting adenomas = Hormonally active
Test your knowledge on adrenocortical malfunction and the three major classes of hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex - androgens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. Learn about the characteristic clinical syndromes that result from hormone excess or deficiency, as well as the impact of steroid use on adrenal cortex function.
