Not all cases of primary aldosteronism are the same,and neither are the outcomes after surgery.

A modern pathology classification called HISTALDO is changing the way specialists evaluate adrenal tumors that cause primary aldosteronism (Conn syndrome). Unlike traditional pathology, which only examines the appearance of adrenal tissue, HISTALDO identifies the cells actively producing excess aldosterone, providing a clearer understanding of the disease driving a patient's high blood pressure.

This advanced approach helps physicians better predict how much blood pressure is likely to improve after surgery, whether potassium levels will normalize, the likelihood of reducing or eliminating blood pressure medications, and which patients may benefit from more personalized long-term follow-up.

At the Carling Adrenal Center, HISTALDO classification is routinely performed for every patient undergoing adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism, ensuring treatment decisions and postoperative care are guided by the most advanced pathology available.

Adrenal surgery isn't based on tumor size alone.

It may be recommended when an adrenal tumor produces excess hormones, continues to grow, appears suspicious on imaging, or causes symptoms that affect your health and quality of life.

Not every adrenal tumor requires surgery.

The first step is determining whether the tumor is producing excess hormones, causing symptoms, or has concerning imaging features.

An experienced adrenal specialist will evaluate your imaging, laboratory results, and symptoms to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Cushing's syndrome affects much more than hormone levels.

Excess cortisol can impact your energy, sleep, mood, muscles, weight, blood sugar, and overall well-being. Because symptoms often develop gradually, many people don't realize they may all be connected.

If you've been experiencing several of these symptoms, seeking evaluation from an adrenal specialist may help provide the answers you've been searching for.

Recovery from Cushing syndrome surgery doesn't always end when the tumor is removed.

Many patients experience Glucocorticoid Withdrawal Syndrome (GWS), a temporary condition that can occur as the body adjusts from chronically high cortisol levels back to normal. Symptoms may include fatigue, muscle and joint pain, weakness, sleep disturbances, headaches, and mood changes—even when surgery has been successful.

Research has shown that these symptoms are common during the first several weeks after surgery, making expert postoperative care and individualized steroid management an essential part of recovery. At the Carling Adrenal Center, patients receive personalized monitoring, hormone testing, and tailored treatment plans to help support a safe recovery and minimize the impact of GWS.

Cushing's syndrome often develops slowly, making its symptoms easy to overlook.

Unexplained weight gain, fatigue, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, mood changes, poor sleep, and brain fog may seem unrelated—but together they can point to excess cortisol.

Many adrenal tumors are discovered unexpectedly during imaging for an entirely different reason.

A CT scan for kidney stones. An MRI for back pain. An evaluation for abdominal discomfort.

These unexpected findings—known as adrenal incidentalomas—are common, and while many are harmless, some produce excess hormones that can affect your health.

That's why an incidental finding shouldn't be ignored. Proper evaluation helps determine whether monitoring, medical treatment, or surgery is the best next step.

Expert evaluation provides peace of mind—and the right path forward.

Many patients worry they'll need to take steroids for the rest of their lives after adrenal surgery,but that's not the case for most people.

When one healthy adrenal gland remains, or when enough normal adrenal tissue can be preserved, the body is typically able to produce the hormones it needs without lifelong steroid replacement. In certain cases, such as severe cortisol-producing tumors or bilateral adrenal surgery, temporary or long-term steroid therapy may be necessary, making expert postoperative evaluation and follow-up essential.

At the Carling Adrenal Center, every patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment of adrenal function before leaving the hospital, allowing our team to determine whether steroid replacement is truly needed. This individualized approach helps ensure safe recovery while avoiding unnecessary treatment whenever possible.
