متن کاملCortisol Concentrations in Well‐Regulated Dogs with Hyperadrenocorticism Treated with Trilostane
BACKGROUND There are no clear treatment guidelines for dogs with clinically well-regulated hyperadrenocorticism in which serum cortisol concentrations before and after an ACTH stimulation test performed 3-6 hours after trilostane administration are < 2.0 μg/dL. OBJECTIVE To determine if serum cortisol concentrations measured before (Pre1) and after (Post1) ACTH stimulation at 3-6 hours after ...
متن کاملEvaluation of low dose ACTH stimulation test in suspected secondary adrenocortical insufficiency.
BACKGROUND Several studies in the last few years have shown that the standard 250 micro g dose used in ACTH stimulation test may be very high and have suggested that a dose of 1 micro g may be sufficient for evaluating hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. AIMS To evaluate the role of low dose ACTH stimulation test in patients with suspected Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency (SAI). SUBJEC...
متن کاملValue of an ACTH test in assessing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical function in glucocorticoid-treated patients.
Forty-eight patients receiving glucocorticoid treatment were tested with ACTH stimulation using alpha(1, 24) ACTH (tetracosactrin). All patients subsequently underwent non-acute major surgery without any glucocorticoid administration, and their clinical course and plasma corticosteroids were followed closely. No case of adrenocortical insufficiency was observed. A highly significant correlation...
متن کاملProspective investigation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients with tularemia.
BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate prospectively the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tularemia was diagnosed according to guidelines. An ACTH stimulation test (1 µg) and a dexamethasone suppression test (DST; 1 mg) were performed in patients in the acute phase of tularemia before antibiotic treatment and in the ...
متن کاملShort ACTH test in assessing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical function.
The adrenocortical response to the simple 30-minute ACTH stimulation test was compared with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in 25 patients with various degrees of hypothalamic-pituitary malfunction. The correlations between the increase in plasma cortisol during insulin hypoglycaemia and that during ACTH stimulation (r = 0-66) and betwee...
