The aim of our study was to define the role of salivary cortisol in specific diagnostic settings of HPA...

OBJECTIVE The criteria for defining subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) are debated and a real gold standard test or combination of tests is lacking. Recently, late-night salivary cortisol (MSC) has been described as a sensitive and easy-to-perform marker for diagnosing overt hypercortisolism.
