Given the largely unexplored application of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) steroid analysis in primary aldosteronism (PA), we aimed to investigate its diagnostic utility in PA classification and to characterize steroid secr...
Subclinical Cushing syndrome is a condition of mild autonomous cortisol excess (MACE) that lacks typical features of Cushing syndrome but is associated with many complications. It represents a common hormonal dysfunction among patients with adrenal i...
To evaluate the efficacy of 24 h urinary free cortisol (24 h UFC) in the diagnosis of subclinical Cushing's syndrome (SCS), and explore the best diagnostic cut-off value. The clinical data of patients with adrenal incidentaloma in Chinese PLA Gener...
