The recent development of quantitative steroid metabolome profiling could be of interest for the positive diagnosis of mild autonomous cortisol-secreting adenoma (MACS). The aim of the study is to develop a predictive model of MACS status or non-secreting adenoma (NSA) based on a panel of 19 serum steroids and three clinico-biological parameters (body mass index or BMI, fasting glycaemia, blood pressure) and to estimate its performance for the diagnosis of MACS in a cohort of patients followed in the endocrinology department of Bordeaux University Hospital.
