Introduction The measurement of salivary cortisol has emerged as a first-line test in the evaluation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis in humans and, in particular, for the diagnosis of endogenous hypercortisolism (Cushing

Introduction Timely diagnosis of endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) is important to reduce morbidity and mortality ( 1 , 2 , 3 ). Late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) is an important screening instrument for CS with high sensitivity and

Introduction The utility of measuring salivary cortisol has become increasingly popular in, for example, screening for Cushing’s syndrome or disease ( 1 , 2 ). Obtaining salivary samples is easy and patient friendly. An additional advantage
