Background: The standard dose Synacthen test (SDST) is commonly used to identify glucocorticoid deficiency. A subnormal SDST in young infants raises the possibility of adrenal insufficiency (AI) due to pathology such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). A physiological delay in maturation of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion may be another explanation especially in asymptomatic infants with a transiently subnormal SDST.Aims: To review the diagnoses an...
