The adrenal glands produce very important hormones that
are essential to regulate the body's salt levels, blood pressure and its response to
stress. The human body has a very large capacity to adapt. If one adrenal gland has to
be removed due to any cause, the other gland can increase its production of the same and
the body will continue to function with the person noticing little if any
change.
If both the adrenal glands are removed though, a
person has to take medication to replace the functionality of the adrenal
glands.
