Abstract: We asked whether subtle laboratory abnormalities in parameters that reflect glucocorticoid action can be found in patients with non-producing adrenocortical adenomas (NPA). We found that patients with adrenal non-producing adenomas already showed signs of glucocorticoid excess, including relative lymphocytopenia, lowered DHEAS and ACTH concentrations. We also found that the extent of lymphocytopenia correlated well with the concentrations of DHEAS and ACTH, and DHEAS correlated well with ACTH concentrations.
