| Cadrenal/Civc of contralateral reference samples | 18.01 (10.60–54.33) | 20.30 (11.04–20.30) | 24.55 (13.93–90.00) | 17.44 (10.00–70.00) | 23.94 (10.23–94.74) |
Analysed samples were divided into five groups according to the Cadrenal/Civc. Reference samples were defined by the highest Cadrenal/Civc achieved in a given adrenal. Ipsilateral and contralateral reflect the relation to the analysed samples. Values are expressed as number of samples or median (range). Cadrenal/Civc represents the ratio of cortisol concentrations in the adrenal vein and in the inferior vena cava.
