Resumo

Introduction In this work we summarize the functional tests indicated in the most frequent adrenal pathology: corticotrop axis, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and catecholamines production. Basis and indications The altered adrenal can be hyper or hypoactive; atrophic, hyperplastic or carrying a tumor. Functional studies aim to determine the existence of hyper– or hypofunction in any of the endocrine systems of the body and, somehow, to locate the point which has lost the normal control. In general, a stimulus test is performed when we suspect a loss of function, and, conversely, an inhibition test is performed when we suspect a gain of function.
