How are adrenal disorders diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider will likely start by asking questions about your symptoms. They will then order tests to determine the levels of hormones in your saliva, blood and urine.

If your provider suspects tumors, they might order imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs or nuclear imaging tests.

Your regular healthcare provider may refer you to an endocrinologist, a specialist in hormones and diseases of the endocrine system.
