![]() ![]() The adrenal cortex is involved in the multistep process of steroidogenesis. The adrenal is histologically divided into a three zoned cortex and the inner medulla. Though there are pathophysiologic states characterized by decreased adrenal function, these are typically beyond the purview of the urologist. ![]() In this article, we will focus on non-functional and functional adrenal disorders. As a result of this complexity, management of adrenal disorders often requires the involvement of endocrinologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, and anesthesiologists in addition to urologists. ![]() The small size and, in benign states, almost inconspicuous appearance of the adrenals belies both their physiologic and pathophysiologic complexity. ![]()
