Hello, Mr. Doctor! While examining the lungs (tomography), I was diagnosed with a lump of the adrenal gland. It is true that I am calm, because it is small - 1.3 mm, but I already have to monitor it. And here the stairs begin, because I have no chance to get to an endocrinologist - the dates are in a year, or is a specialist - urologist deals with the adrenal glands? By the name I associate these two specializations … Best regards

Hello, The diagnosis and treatment of adrenal nodules is performed by endocrinologists and hypertensiologists (hypertension specialists), because often these nodules are associated with increased blood pressure. As part of the diagnosis, it is necessary to determine whether the nodule found is hormonally active or inactive. Such tests can be performed in an endocrine or hypertensive clinic. Hypertensive clinics are usually located in hospitals of Medical Universities. I suggest you be interested in the possibility of obtaining advice from a hypertensive clinic. Regards, Dr. n.med.
