Shanghai Clinical Cohort - Adrenal Disease

As a vital organ responsible for producing life-sustaining hormones, the adrenal gland is associated with a wide range of diseases. These diseases affect multiple systems throughout the body and carry a high rate of mortality and disability. Current diagnosis and treatment face several challenges: significant variability in hormone testing results, inaccurate localization via imaging techniques, unclear molecular characteristics of adrenal tumors, and difficulty in determining prognosis through pathology. Therefore, establishing a clinical research cohort for adrenal diseases is essential. Such a cohort will enable in-depth exploration of disease mechanisms, identification of disease subtypes, optimization of diagnostic criteria, evaluation of treatment efficacy, advancement of personalized medicine, and formulation of prevention and treatment strategies.
