Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Qing
If adrenal tumors are not treated in time, as the condition progresses, they may lead to symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, metabolic dysfunction, or electrolyte imbalances. These can manifest as central obesity, hypokalemia, hypertensive encephalopathy, or cerebral hemorrhage. Once a person is diagnosed with an adrenal tumor, timely and appropriate treatment measures should be taken to control the progression of the disease.
