We report a 44-year-old Caucasian female who presented with hypoglycemia and hypotension. The patient had a basal cortisol of 1.6 ug/dl and a peak serum cortisol of 23.3 ug/dl after 250 ug of cosyntropin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Intravenous Administration

  Plasma cortisol and ACTH were measured at baseline and at intervals over a one hour period following intravenous administration of 1μg of cosyntropin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Intravenous Administration May be administered by direct IV injection as a rapid screening test or as an IV infusion, over 4—8 hours, to provide a greater stimulus to the adrenal glands. [pdr.net]

  This prospective, randomized, multi-center study hypothesized no difference in efficacy of EBP and the intravenous administration of the ACTH analogue, cosyntropin, in the treatment of PDPH. [academic.oup.com]

• Neglect

  Abstract Notwithstanding the high prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA), probably the most common form of secondary hypertension, the diagnosis of PA is often neglected or delayed, thus precluding target treatment, which is curative in many cases. [eje.bioscientifica.com]

Initial adrenal workups involve cortisol testing and ACTH stimulation. [arupconsult.com]

• Ventricular Hypertrophy

  Target treatment of PA, and particularly adrenalectomy if a lateralized form is identified, has been shown to be highly effective in providing long-term biochemical cure, regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (10), and also lowering of the incidence [eje.bioscientifica.com]

A fifth embodiment would be the use of the dosage form to prepare a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases for which corticosteroids are indicated, preferably for the treatment or prophylaxis of infantile spasm. [patents.justia.com]

Current treatments consist primarily of non-invasive treatment with intravenous fluids and caffeine therapy and invasive treatment by Epidural Blood Patch. Efficacy of Caffeine 300mg IV BID x 1d doses is approximately 70% (2). [druglib.com]

The diagnosis and treatment of adrenal insufficiency in critical illness has been the subject of controversy for over 30 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A cosyntropin adrenal stimulation test was administered to each patient and the response was correlated with the past transplant course and their subsequent prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this latter setting, which is the par excellence model for ischemia/reperfusion, nonresponse to the CST is correlated with longer ischemia duration and poorer prognosis (28). [journals.lww.com]

These findings confirm that adrenal sensitivity to corticotropin (ACTH) is enhanced in MDD and suggest that this endocrine abnormality may be related pathophysiologically to the resistance of cortisol secretion to dexamethasone suppression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
