متن کاملSalivary cortisol in low dose (1 microg) ACTH test in healthy women: comparison with serum cortisol.
To date, a single report has appeared on the use of salivary cortisol for adrenal function testing with a low dose ACTH, although 1 microg has become preferred as a more physiological stimulus than the commonly used 250 microg ACTH test. Our present study was aimed to obtain physiological data on changes of free salivary cortisol after 1 microg ACTH stimulation. This approach was compared with ...
متن کاملThe low-dose ACTH test in the ICU: Not ready for prime time
Measurements and main results: In each test, serum cortisol levels were measured before (T0) and 30 (T30), 60 (T60), and 90 (T90) mins after corticotropin injection. The maximal increase in cortisol (∆max) was calculated as the difference between T0 and the highest cortisol value at T30, T60, or T90 and considered as adequate if >9 μg/dL (250 nmol/L). Nonresponders to the low dose test had a lo...
