Overnight specimens of urine were collected from control, obese, and hirsute women and from 11 women with Cushing's syndrome. Urinary 11-hydroxycorticosteroid levels in the group with Cushing's syndrome were significantly higher than in the other three groups. This simple test has proved invaluable when screening for Cushing's syndrome in a busy outpatient clinic.
从对照组、肥胖女性、多毛女性以及11名库欣综合征女性中收集过夜尿液样本。库欣综合征组的尿11-羟皮质类固醇水平显著高于其他三组。在繁忙的门诊筛查库欣综合征时,这项简单的检测已被证明具有极高的价值。
