Hypertension & Related Disorders
Certain hormonal conditions can cause high blood pressure that is difficult to control. Dr. Sachin Pandit offers specialized evaluation and targeted treatment for endocrine-related hypertension, helping patients achieve better blood pressure control and long-term heart health.
Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism occurs when the adrenal glands produce excess aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure and low potassium levels. Diagnosis includes hormonal testing and imaging. Treatment may involve medications or minimally invasive surgery depending on the underlying cause.
Pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma is a rare adrenal tumor that releases excess adrenaline-like hormones, causing severe spikes in blood pressure, headaches, palpitations, and sweating. Management includes precise hormonal evaluation, imaging, and coordinated surgical treatment to safely remove the tumor.
Cushing’s Syndrome
Cushing’s syndrome results from excess cortisol production, which can cause weight gain, high blood pressure, fatigue, and metabolic issues. Care includes detailed hormonal assessment, identifying the source of excess cortisol, and offering medical or surgical treatment options.
