400;\">The adrenal gland is located directly above the kidney and secretes important hormones that regulate:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluid and electrolyte balance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body\u2019s response to physical and psychological stress<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tumors or enlargement of the adrenal gland may lead to health problems such as severe high blood pressure, excess hormone secretion, or, in some cases, tumors that require surgical removal of the gland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is adrenalectomy
