The adrenals of 65 patients who had died of rheumatism, endocarditis septica lenta, simple chronic bronchitis, atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis and acute trauma were studied histologically, histochemically, morphometrically and using impregnation methods. Processes in the stroma and endocrine tissue were divided into two groups. The first group included changes relating to the manifestation of general adaptation syndrome. The second one deals with changes reflecting the features of the given disease pathogenesis: degenerative and inflammatory processes typical for certain conditions, various states of different adrenal zones.
