Laboratory findings
Hormonal syndromes should be confirmed with laboratory testing. The following are the lab findings in various syndromes caused by adrenocortical carcinoma.
- Cushing syndrome:
- Increased serum glucose (blood sugar)
- Increased urine cortisol.
- Adrenal virilism:
- Excess serumandrostenedione
- Excess serum dehydroepiandrosterone.
- Conn syndrome:
- low serum potassium
- Low plasma renin activity
- High serum aldosterone.
- Feminization:
- Excess serum estrogen
