NCT05759637

Brief Summary

The present observational cross-sectional study is aimed to assess: the hidden hypercortisolism (HidHyCo) prevalence in a sample of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients and the clinical characteristics more frequently associated with the HidHyCo presence and the HidHyCo prevalence in an adequate sample of obese patients without T2D and the clinical characteristics more frequently associated with the HidHyCo presence.
