An ACTH stimulation test was performed based on the patient's clinical presentation, consistent with adrenal insufficiency. Her baseline cortisol level was 5.9 mcg/dL (reference range: 6.7-22 mcg/dL), a post-ACTH stimulation level of 6.7 mcg/dL after 30 minutes, and 6.0 mcg/dL after 60 ...

or chronic diseases that could influence adrenal function (such as intracranial hypertension, pituitary diseases and adrenal disorders), or intubation with etomidate within the last 72 h, or use of drugs that could predispose to adrenal insufficiency (such as phenytoin, rifampicin, glitazones, imipram...
Relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI) is common in critically ill patients with cirrhosis, but it has been also documented in non-critically ill patients. Its pathophysiology is complex and not well understood yet. In this review, we aimed to present potential mechanisms and causal pathways implicated...
“My adrenal insufficiency was not diagnosed for many years. Taking the proper remedy was like putting on glasses, and being able to see clearly for the first time. You wouldn’t have a problem wearing glasses every day, if you needed them. If I don’t wear my glasses (or contacts) I...
both performed a stimulation test with 250 μg ACTH. The study from Valentin et al. was the only case-control study which allegedly detected adrenal insufficiency in HD patients based on lab value (insufficient response to ACTH, cutoff defined at 420 nmol/l) [6]. In their cohort of ...
Article Detail
The cosyntropin stimulation test is widely used to evaluate adrenal function in patients with suspected adrenal insufficiency (AI).1,2 The accurate interpretation of the test requires method- and assay-specific cutoffs for the level of cortisol. A peak cortisol cutoff concentration of 18 to 20 ...
This cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence and symptoms of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency among patients in Denmark treated with
