What is the weight of the adrenal gland?

The adrenal glands typically weigh about 4 to 5 grams each in adults, although this can vary slightly based on individual factors such as age and body size. Together, the pair of adrenal glands generally weighs around 8 to 10 grams. These small, triangular-shaped glands are located on top of each kidney and play a crucial role in hormone production, including stress-related hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
