چکیده

In this study we tested the use of salivary cortisol and cortisone as alternatives to serum cortisol. Salivary cortisol is often undetectable and contaminated by hydrocortisone. Salivary cortisone strongly reflects serum cortisol.

Measurement of late-night salivary cortisol and cortisone by LC-MS/MS to assess preanalytical sample contamination with topical hydrocortisone.

Measurement of increased latenight salivary cortisol (LNSC) is now a mainstay in the diagnosis of endogenous Cushing syndrome (1 ). Patients typically sample their saliva at home and are carefully instructed to avoid using potential contaminants, such as topical creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone (authentic cortisol). Using these creams or ointments can cause preanalytical contaminat...

Comparison of total and salivary cortisol in a low-dose ACTH (Synacthen) test: influence of three-month oral contraceptives administration to healthy women.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of low-dose combined oral contraception (COC) on basal and stimulated (1 microg ACTH test) levels of serum and salivary cortisol (F), cortisone and on basal serum cortisol binding globulin (CBG), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), dehydroepiadrosterone (DHEA) and calculated free cortisol in healthy young women. Three-month administratio...

Assessment of glucocorticoid therapy with salivary cortisol in secondary adrenal insufficiency.

CONTEXT Appropriate glucocorticoid replacement therapy in adrenal insufficiency (AI) is crucial, given the risks of chronic under- or overtreatment, particularly in patients on multiple medications. Salivary sampling allows for non-invasive, stress-free cortisol measurement. OBJECTIVE To determine whether salivary cortisol measurement is helpful in assessing the adequacy of glucocorticoid the...

20-Dihydroisomers of cortisol and cortisone in human urine: excretion rates under different physiological conditions.

The urinary excretion rates of free cortisol and cortisone as well as of their 20-dihydroisomers have been studied in normal subjects under different physiological or pharmacological conditions. For the estimation of steroid excretion rates, a fully automated, liquid-chromatographic method was used. In normal subjects, the median steroid excretion rates of free cortisol, cortisone, 20-alpha-dih...

Salivary Cortisol and Cortisone After Low-Dose Corticotropin Stimulation in the Diagnosis of Adrenal Insufficiency

Context Basal and poststimulation salivary cortisol and cortisone levels can be useful in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. However, little is known about the optimal cutoffs and performance characteristics of these tests. Objective To derive the cutoff values and study the performance characteristics of salivary cortisol and salivary cortisone in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency....
