      As mentioned above, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low so this triggers the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to ultimately increase ACTH secretion (to attempt to “whip” the adrenal to put out more cortisol to raise the blood level to normal); thus, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low and ACTH is high;

      Dx - assess cortisol excess, determine if pathologic, and ACTH-dependence: Cortisol excess - see if 24 hr urine cortisol > 100. Pathologic excess - low-dose dexamethasone should suppress cortisol… won’t if diseased. ACTH dependence - is ACTH normal/high (ACTH-dependent), or low (ACTH-independent)

      Plasma cortisol level- Values will be low. ACTH serum levels- high normal, low. Electrolytes- hyponatremia, hyperkalemia (absence of aldosterone), decreased glucose. Elevated BUN due to dehydration. Cosyntropin stimulation test - failure of cortisol elevation between 30-60 minutes after administration of Cosyntropin (synthetic ACTH)

      Low plasma cortisol level. Measure serum ACTH – can be high, normal, or low. Electrolytes – hyponatremia, hyperkalemia (absence of aldosterone), decreased glucose. Elevated BUN due to dehydration. Cosyntropin stimulation test – failure of cortisol elevation between 30-60 minutes after administration of Cosyntropin (synthetic ACTH)

      The secretory rates of CRF, ACTH, and cortisol are high in the early morning but low in the late evening. The plasma cortisol level ranges between a high of about 20 mg/dl an hour before arising in the morning and a low of about 5 mg/dl around midnight.

      It is suggested that cortisol levels above normal inhibit salivary levels of immunoglobin A (IgA), which is the first line of defense against potentially pathogenic viruses. The resulting upper respiratory infection has been reported following marathon races and in athletes undergoing high intensity training.

      Cortisol: within 1hr of waking; 550 = normal; if normal response = 2Y. ACTH: high = 1Y; low = 2Y. Mng: IV fluid (may need ++); treat hypoglycaemia; treat K if needed; vasopressors may be needed
