Summary
This study looked at whether measuring cortisol in saliva works as well as the standard blood test to diagnose high cortisol levels (hypercortisolism) in people with adrenal incidentalomas—non-cancerous tumors found by chance on scans. About 100 patients and 100 healthy adults provided saliva and blood samples after taking a low-dose steroid pill. The goal was to see if the simpler, non-invasive saliva test could reliably replace the blood test for diagnosis.
