متن کاملDiagnosis of Cushing's disease in a patient with consistently normal urinary free cortisol levels: a case report
The urinary free cortisol (UFC) test is widely used for the screening of Cushing's syndrome. This case study illustrates the potential failure of the UFC test to correctly diagnose Cushing's disease (CD), indicating that the use of other complementary tests may be necessary to diagnose this disease in some cases.
متن کاملAn enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for urinary free cortisol.
Since the introduction of our plasma cortisol enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [l] using affinity purified antiserum [2] into the routine steroid laboratory, we have embarked on the development of a simple urinary free or unconjugated cortisol ELISA which would allow measurement of both urine and plasma cortisol on the one ELISA plate. This paper describes for the first time an ELISA f...
متن کامل[Is free plasmatic cortisol measurement useful in intensive care unit?].
Serum cortisol free fraction is responsible for its physiological function. Determination of serum total cortisol concentration does not allow accurate evaluation of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis when there is a quantitative variation in serum transcortin. Although free cortisol can be assayed by salivary or urinary cortisol measurements, these methods can not be easily applied in intensi...
متن کاملUndetectable urinary free cortisol concentrations in a case of Cushing's disease.
Measurement of the 24-h urinary free cortisol is a valuable screening test of endogenous hypercortisolism and, although false positive results may occur in a few situations, for example endogenous depression, false negative results are unusual. We report a case of a 48-year-old lady with pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease, whose 24-h urinary free cortisol excretion was consistently undetecta...
