Adrenal Insufficiency Algorithm - Cosyntropin Stimulation Test T-1m: Baseline cortisol drawn T0: 250 µg cosyntropin given IV T30m: Repeat
T-1m: Baseline cortisol ... IV T30m: Repeat cortisol ... drawn T60m: Final cortisol
Cushing Syndrome Testing Algorithm INDICATIONS FOR TESTING: • Suspected Cushing syndrome (central obesity, muscle weakness, refractory hypertension) Testing:
hypertension) Testing: • Cortisol ... Free Urine • Cortisol ... following morning: Cortisol ... , Serum (or Cortisol
Evaluation of Secondary Hypertension • Primary aldosteronism - PRA, PAC • Renal artery stenosis - Renal
Late-night salivary cortisol ... 24-h urine free cortisol
Primary Adrenal Insufficiency: • ACTH stimulation test - Synthetic ACTH does not stimulate cortisol secretion because
not stimulate cortisol ... ACTH • Serum cortisol ... gland impacts both cortisol ... an increase in cortisol ... ACTH • Serum cortisol
Adrenal Insufficiency Diagnosis Algorithm - Evaluation of HPA Axis Response to ACTH Early am cortisol < 3
ACTH Early am cortisol ... Cosyntropin - Measure cortisol ... injection - If f/u cortisol
Diagnosis Adrenal Insufficiency - Algorithm Step 1) Screening Test: 6-8AM Cortisol Level - Early morning cortisol levels
Screening Test: 6-8AM Cortisol ... Early morning cortisol ... Then, check cortisol ... - Peak cortisol
