Overview
Some patients with adrenocortical carcinoma may have elevated concentration of serum cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone or estrogen and reduced concentration of plasma renin and potassium.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings that may associate adrenocortical carcinoma are:
| Hormonal disturbance | labs |
|---|---|
| Cortisol |
|
| Steroids[1] |
|
| Epinephrine[2] |
|
| Aldosterone[3] |
