<h2>Adrenal Disease Screening</h2>
<p>Screening exams are important medical tests done when you&rsquo;re healthy and don&rsquo;t have symptoms. They help find disease at its earliest stage, when the chances for curing it are best.<br />If your family members have certain hereditary syndromes, your doctor may suggest gene testing or other screening tests to identify disorders as soon as possible.</p>
<h2>Adrenal Disease Risk Factors</h2>
<p>Certain inherited disorders can increase your risk of having an adrenal disease. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Li-Fraumeni syndrome</li>
<li>Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)</li>
<li>Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome</li>
<li>Neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen&rsquo;s disease</li>
<li>Paraganglioma syndrome</li>
<li>Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome</li>
</ul>
<p>Not everyone with these syndromes develops adrenal disease. However, if you or anyone in your family has one of these syndromes, your doctor may recommend genetic screening.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Adrenal Disease Prevention</h2>
<p>There are no known lifestyle changes to lower the risk of developing adrenal disease.</p>
<p>Research shows that many cancers can be prevented if people applied everything known about cancer prevention to their lives.&nbsp;</p>
