DAnalysis of the Distribution of Adrenal Steroids in a Control Population

France60 participantsStarted 2015-02

Plain-language summary

This is a biomedical research study on the determination of adrenal steroids. It has been proposed in recent years as a tool for the diagnostic orientation of an adrenal pathology. The main objective is to analyze the distribution of blood and urinary adrenal steroid values in a population of 60 controls. The secondary objective is to establish reference values for each of these parameters, if their distribution permits, and to study the possible link between the blood pressure level, the orthostatism state, the potassium level and these adrenal steroids.
