DAnalysis of the Distribution of Adrenal Steroids in a Control Population (STEROTEM)

October 24, 2019 updated by: University Hospital, Lille

Analysis of the Distribution of Adrenal Steroids in Blood and Urine Measured by Mass Spectrometry Coupled to Liquid Chromatography in a Control Population

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.
