Well, all the organs listed above are glands, - they each produce hormones of some type.  Without knowing what tests your friend had done, it's impossible to tell you more.

Once your friend gets her results back, you are welcome to post them, along with the reference ranges, since these vary lab to lab.  We will be happy to help you, if we can.

Do make sure your friend gets a copy of the lab report, for her records.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "general endocrinology".  There are several different endocrine components, including thyroid, adrenals, pancreas (diabetes).  Does your friend have any of these issues?
