To investigate if in preterm newborns, an early adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) test can identify possible transient adrenal insufficiency (TAI), using significant hypotension as a clinical marker.

THE response of the adrenal cortex to intensive stimulation with exogenous ACTH provides an excellent guide to the functional status of the adrenal cortex under most circumstances. Tests based on this ...

AUSTIN, Texas — Preoperative identification of patients with silent adrenocorticotrophic hormone-secreting tumors could potentially change the approach to management. A new study aimed to determine ...

During the 36 months of the survey, 11,310 patients were hospitalized in the general internal ward. Among them, 339 (2.9%) were clinically suspected of adrenal insufficiency and had an ...
