open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endogenous hypercortisolism (EHC) is an underrecognised and clinically significant contributor to hypertension, particularly resistant hypertension. Once viewed as a rare entity, EHC is now understood as a spectrum of cortisol excess associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes and target‐organ damage.

How Common Is Hypercortisolism in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes? Risk Factors, Epidemiology, and Making a Diagnosis Using a Dexamethasone Suppression Test

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Importance Hypercortisolism is an underdiagnosed contributor to metabolic dysfunction in people with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although overt Cushing syndrome is rare, milder forms of cortisol excess, commonly termed mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), appear substantially more common in selected high‐risk populations. Observations Chronic

Histopathological stratification of primary aldosteronism using the CYP11B2 size ratio: first evaluation in clinical routine

open access: yesHistopathology, EarlyView.
CYP11B2 immunohistochemistry identifies aldosterone‐producing nodules and enables objective subtyping using the B2 ratio (B2R), defined as the size ratio between the largest and second‐largest CYP11B2‐positive nodules. A B2R ≥8.1 indicates classical histology with a dominant lesion and high likelihood of cure, whereas B2R <8.1 reflects non‐classical ...
