That is the Adrenal gland. Another name for this is the Suprarenal gland.
Mineralocorticoids hormone produced by adrenal cortex are important to regulate 'Mineral balance'. In absence of Mineralocorticoids body potassium rises. Sodium level decreases and patient lands up in hypo-volume like state and goes in shock and not treated with Mineralocorticoids or high dose of Corticosteroids, he will die.
Mineralocorticoids
Norepinephrine is made from dopamine in the medulla of the adrenal gland.
adrenal medulla
Addison's disease is the common name for hypocortisolism, a defect in the adrenal gland in which sufficient amounts of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are not produced by the gland.
zona glomerulosa/mineralocorticoids
zona glomerulosa: mineralocorticoids
The Adrenal Gland (atop kidneys) produces four hormones:Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids, Androgen, and Catecholamines and more. adrenaline??
zona glomerulosa/mineralocorticoids
adrenaline The adrenal cortex produces a battery of steroids (glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids - mainly hydrocortisone and aldosterone), but it doesn't produce adrenalin. Adrenalin is released by the adrenal medulla which occupies the interior of the adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (cortex) produce mineralocorticoids. One of these is aldosterone which regulates sodium levels.

Norepinephrine is made from dopamine in the medulla of the adrenal gland.
