Cosyntropin Test: Adrenal insufficiency can be primary or secondary- depending if the dysfunction is at the pituitary(primary)level or adrenal( secondary) level. A baseline morning cortisol level is drawn first- then 0.25 mg im/iv of Cosyntropin is given- then the cortisol level is rechecked at 30 and 60 minutes- so 3 blood draws are needed. If the cortisol level fails to rise above 18-20 mcg/sl- you have ai.
