“…Diagnosis of CD was established by suggestive clinical findings, loss of plasma or salivary cortisol circadian rhythm and no suppression of cortisol levels after an overnight dexamethasone suppression test (20 μg/kg up to 1 mg) (8,9). The pituitary etiology of hypercortisolism (CD) was determined by measurement of plasma ACTH levels, high-dose and very high-dose dexamethasone suppression tests in all patients, and the corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) test (8).…”

“…A disseminação da metodologia deverá reposicionar a dosagem de cortisol livre dentre as téc-nicas utilizadas para o screening de hipercortisolismo endógeno (síndrome de Cushing). Isto por que a alta especificidade analítica permite um diagnóstico mais preciso do que aquele obtido com os imunoensaios mais comuns, tornando a dosagem, já aceita como uma das mais úteis, ao lado de cortisol pós-depressão com dexametasona e cortisol salivar à meia-noite (38)(39)(40)(41)(42), ainda mais atrativa. O método aqui descrito apresenta a vantagem adicional de permitir a dosagem concomitante da cortisona livre, e conseqüentemente o estudo da atividade da enzima 11β-HSD2.…”

“…It should be ordered whenever available, especially in centers with an established methodology and cutoff values that have been studied in different populations (normal, obese/pseudo-Cushing's and Cushing's syndrome), with a sensitivity of 88-100% and specificity of 82-100% (55,56) for adults, and of 95.2 and 100%, respectively, for children (53).…”
