Earlier post-operative hypocortisolemia may predict durable remission from Cushing’s disease
Context Achievement of hypocortisolemia following transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for Cushing’s disease (CD) is associated with successful adenoma resection. However, up to one-third of these patients recur. Objective We assessed whether delay in reaching post-operative cortisol nadir may delineate pa...

Zusammenfassung: | Context Achievement of hypocortisolemia following transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) for Cushing’s disease (CD) is associated with successful adenoma resection. However, up to one-third of these patients recur. Objective We assessed whether delay in reaching post-operative cortisol nadir may delineate patients at risk of recurrence for CD following TSS. Methods A retrospective review of 257 patients who received 291 TSS procedures for CD at NIH, between 2003 and 2016. Early biochemical remission (serum cortisol nadir |
