Filter paper cortisol profiles in secondary adrenocortical insufficiency.
The use of filter paper four point 24 hour cortisol profiles in the diagnosis and management of secondary adrenocortical deficiency was examined. Eighteen children with familial short stature and isolated growth hormone deficiency had normal 24 hour and morning plasma cortisol concentrations measured. Eight of 11 children with multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies had evidence of hypocortical...
متن کاملCharacterization of Cortisol Secretion Rate in Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency
Context In secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI), chronic deficiency of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) is believed to result in secondary changes in adrenocortical function, causing an altered dose-response relationship between ACTH concentration and cortisol secretion rate (CSR). Objective We sought to characterize maximal cortisol secretion rate (CSRmax) and free cortisol half-life in patients ...
متن کاملOxidative stress and adrenocortical insufficiency
Maintenance of redox balance is essential for normal cellular functions. Any perturbation in this balance due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress and may lead to cell dysfunction/damage/death. Mitochondria are responsible for the majority of cellular ROS production secondary to electron leakage as a consequence of respiration. Furthermore, electron leakage by th...
متن کاملPrediction of adrenocortical insufficiency after pituitary adenoma surgery using postoperative basal cortisol levels.
Our aim was to analyze the correlation of early postoperative cortisol levels in patients after transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery compared to the standard dose ACTH test and Insulin tolerance test (ITT) several months later. We retrospectively reviewed data from 94 patients operated for pituitary adenoma in years 2009-2012. The comparison of day 7 (median) postoperative basal cortisol l...
متن کاملImmunoreactive corticotrophin levels in adrenocortical insufficiency.
Plasma concentrations of immunoreactive corticotrophin (ACTH) have been determined in 14 patients with untreated Addison's disease and in 42 patients with secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. Basal morning plasma ACTH levels were markedly raised in those with Addison's disease but were either in the normal range or undetectable in the group with secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. In the...
