1 study

  1. Post 1mg-DST cortisol is associated with arterial hypertension in humans (Adrenal adenomas; markedly elevated versus suppressed post 1mg-DST cortisol).

    “patients with markedly elevated 1mg-DST had more frequently arterial hypertension (aHTN) and osteoporosis, particularly women.”

Mildly high cortisol tied to deaths in benign adrenal tumor patients

Patients with mildly elevated cortisol had a mortality hazard ratio of 1.57 versus those with suppressed cortisol; accounting for cancer history weakened the link.Patients with mildly elevated cortisol had a mortality hazard ratio of 1.57 versus those with suppressed cortisol; accounting for cancer history weakened the link.
