NCT02543697 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2016-09-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with tumors in both adrenal glands and slightly elevated cortisol (subclinical Cushings syndrome) are offered to go through an adrenal venous sampling to try to quantify if the overproduction of cortisol is from one adrenal, or from both sides. If it is one-sided, the investigators offer the patient operation.

Conditions

  • Cushing Syndrome

Interventions

RADIATION

Adrenal venous sampling

We go trough the femoral vein with a catheter up to the adrenal vein first on the left side, then on the right side. We take blood samples and analyze cortisol, metanefrin/ normetanefrin, aldosterone both from the adrenal veins and from the peripher vein. Then we use criteria from the Majo clinic to identify if the overproduction of cortisol is uni- or bilateral.
