Objective. To evaluate the functional condition of pituitary-adrenal system of juveniles and young men with hypertension. Design and methods. 87 juveniles with obesity (including only 69 with hypertension) and 24 normal weight juveniles with hypertension were examined. Results. The laboratory criteria of subclinical Cushing's syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia with 11-β-hydroxylase failure with corticosteroid identification in blood and urine by high-efficiency liquid chromatography at dexamethasone and corticotropin tests were developed.
