A member asked:
How early in secondary adrenal sufficiency would a short synathcen test be reliable? read that a certain amount of time needed to allow for adrenal atrophy. is another test more reliable for secondary adrenal insufficiency or is this best? thanks?

Adrenal insufficiency is VERY VERY rare. Recommend you go to uptodate.com and buy 1 months subscription so you can learn all about it. Then discuss with your Dr. VERY Very rare and very tricky to diagnose early on.

Does short synathcen ACTH test rule out secondary adrenal insufficiency? My 9am cortisol was 8.7, after 30 mins stimulation it was 23.1 and after 60 it was 25.2. If no what other tests are needed? If yes, is the cortisol a concern? Thanks?
My 9am cortisol was 270. A short synacthen test stimulated them it to 680 so I think it ruled out Addinsons? Would it rule out secondary adrenal insufficiency too? Also have low progesterone, low normal t4, tsh? What other tests could be done? Thanks?
My 9am cortisol was 8.6. A short synacthen test stimulated it to 24.5 so I think it ruled out Addinsons? What about secondary adrenal insufficiency? How low is cortisol in that? My FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone are normal, TSH was 0.9, SHBG 27?
