Cortisol ([C]) biological activity depends on its free fraction diffusion into the intracellular compartment. The diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency requires investigations such as the synacthen test and studies in intensive care units suggest that free plasma [C] could provide a better indicator of efficient [C] than total plasma [C]. We undertook this study to compare various determinations of free [C] levels with regard to adrenal status evaluated on total plasma [C] after ...
