First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at how cortisol and other steroid hormones are produced over 24 hours in people with adrenal tumors. Researchers will use a special device called U-RHYTHM to take fluid samples every 20 minutes for up to 48 hours. The goal is to compare hormone patterns between those with mild cortisol overproduction and those with non-secreting tumors. 40 adults with adrenal nodules will participate.
