Defining the basal serum cortisol cut-off for weaning patients off glucocorticoids in suspected tertiary adrenal insufficiency

Fahad Arshad Muhammad , Lawrence Neil , Elder Charlotte , Newell-Price John , Ross Richard , Debono Miguel

Background: Cut-offs for basal cortisol (early morning) have been determined to predict the 30-minute cortisol level post-synacthen, but not for determining when patients with suspected tertiary adrenal insufficiency (AI) are weaned off glucocorticoids.Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the predictive values of basal cortisol, basal ACTH and basal cortisol:ACTH ratio to determine appropriate thresholds to reduce ...

Tonge Joseph , Bacila Irina , Barker Nicki , Aslam Muniba , Salim Eliza , Walsh James , Phillips Bob , Krone Nils , Lawrence Neil

Background: Incorporating the ideas and views of children and young people (CYP) with endocrine conditions from early stages in the research life cycle will increase the benefit for patients and contribute to high impact research.Methods: We conducted two days of patient and public involvement (PPI) sessions with patients from a tertiary endocrine centre who are living with Congenital Adrenal Hypoplasia (CAH). We explore...

Madden Doyle Lauren , Faisal Ahmed Syed , Elford Sue , Elhassan Yasir , James Lynette , Lawrence Neil , Llahana Sofia , Rees Aled , Tomlinson Jeremy , O'Reilly Michael , Krone Nils

Background: The Congenital adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Adult Study Executive (CaHASE) identified poor metabolic outcomes and reduced quality of life in CAH. CaHASE2 was recently established to examine the current status of CAH care. We surveyed clinical practice in the UK and Ireland, and awareness and use of the International CAH (I-CAH) Registry.Methods: We undertook an anonymised online survey targeting clinicians provi...

Introduction: Monitoring glucocorticoid (GC) replacement in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) remains challenging. There are disease-specific patterns in the plasma and urinary steroid profiles in 21OHD, a key role being played by the 11-oxygenatedC19 androgens. Aim: To explore the urinary steroid profile in 21OHD in relation to treatment and plasma steroids. Methods: Partic...

Background: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) requires exogenous steroid replacement and can be monitored with 17-OH Progesterone and Androstenedione. We reviewed real world data to evaluate these markers in relation to hydrocortisone dose in patients treated in 21 centres throughout 14 countries.Method: Retrospective cohort study using pseudonymised data from patients with 21α-Hydroxylase Deficiency recorded in the International Congenital Adren...
