Summary

This study is testing whether a simple, inexpensive saliva test can accurately diagnose Cushing's syndrome, a condition where the body produces too much cortisol. Researchers will compare two automated saliva test methods in 380 adults who are already being checked for high cortisol levels. The goal is to find reliable cut-off values that could make diagnosis easier and more accessible.
