Extra
If ≥ 2 of these tests are positive, hypercortisolism is confirmed → measure ACTH next
1. Average of cortisol over 24 hours. A level more than three times the upper limit of normal indicates hypercortisolism
2. Normal saliva = ↓ cortisol at night
3. Exogenous cortisol should negatively inhibit cortisol (is the most sensitive test), so cortisol should be low; however, adenomas/tumors do not follow the HPA axis and continue to secrete cortisol
