Immunoassays are currently the methods of choice for the measurement of a large panel of
complex and heterogenous molecules owing to full automation, short turnaround time, high …

It has long been recognized that immunoassays cannot accurately quantify steroid
hormones such as testosterone, estradiol, and aldosterone in certain patient populations …

Context Diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA) for many patients depends on positive
results for the saline infusion test (SIT). Plasma aldosterone is often measured by …

Context Most patients with adrenal incidentaloma have nonfunctional lesions that do not

Objectives The saline suppression test (SST) serves to confirm the diagnosis of primary
aldosteronism (PA), while adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is used to subtype PA as unilateral …

Background Measurements of aldosterone by mass spectrometry are more accurate and
less prone to interferences than immunoassay measurements, and may produce a more …

The majority of incidentally discovered adrenal tumors are later characterized as non-
producing adrenocortical adenomas (NPA). We asked whether laboratory abnormalities in …
