Cortisol Testing to Diagnose Adrenal Insufficiency Following Adrenalectomy for Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion
Approximately half of patients with MACS developed postoperative adrenal insufficiency, with 50% recovering by 3.9 months after surgery. BSS correlated with basal cortisol, CST, and duration of adrenal insufficiency. As discordant results were noted in 22%, performing both basal cortisol and CST postoperatively should be considered.
