Saliva Cortisol Measurement as a Screening Test for Suspicious Cushings Syndrome in Children.
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
the investigators have collected saliva samples morning and late evening for cortisol measurements in a total of 330 children ( 660 samples) in the age from 4 to 16 years ols. This samples are going to be used to define a reference range for saliva cortisol in children.
The investigators are then collecting 24 hour urine and saliva samples ( morning and late evening) from children at the obesity clinic Haukeland University hospital for verification of the reference range , and to estimate if the test is good enough to identify the patients that have Cushings syndrome.
Since the diagnose is very seldom in children, we will get help from a 3. line referral center in London to include patients with true Cushings syndrome.
