Adrenal responsiveness in children with steroid responsive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

Impaired adrenal cortical responsiveness to ACTH has been reported in children with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome. Plasma cortisol levels at 8 AM and 2 hours post ACTH stimulation were measured on 42 occasions in 33 children with steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome. Twenty-two of 42 fasting 8 AM plasma cortisol and 39 of 42 post-ACTH plasma cortisol values were subnormal. Plasma cortisol values were similar in children evaluated prior to, immediately following or 2-24 moths after prednisone therapy. No relationship was observed between 8 AM or post-ACTH plasma cortisol values and serum albumin concentration or the presence of edema. Impaired adrenal responsiveness to ACTH was not helpful in predicting the length of clinical remission. Hydrocortisone replacement therapy given to five children with impaired ACTH-responsiveness did not alter the rate of relapses observed prior to this treatment.

[Immunosuppressive effect of the decimeter-band electromagnetic field].

The action of ultrahigh frequency (UHF) waves on the projection zone of the adrenal glands has been found to suppress both primary and secondary immune response, which is probably due to an increase in the glucocorticoid function of the adrenal cortex. The synthesis of nonspecific immunoglobulins has proved to be more resistant to the suppressive action of UHF than the synthesis of specific immunoglobulins.

[Collapse and functional adrenocortical failure in surgical interventions].

The authors observed collapses during operations under narcosis resulting from the adrenal insufficiency in 0,75% of the operated patients. Patients with the potential adrenal insufficiency were detected by means of laboratory and clinical investigations. In order to prevent its development before, during and after the operation a substituting therapy with hydrocortisone was carried out.

Adrenal insufficiency in a neonatal foal.

A 3-day-old female Pinto was admitted with profuse watery diarrhea and severe hypovolemic shock. After 1 week of intensive care, the foal developed seizures associated with profound serum electrolyte abnormalities suggestive of hypoadrenocorticism. Treatment with prednisone and isotonic saline (0.9% NaCl) solution led to prompt clinical response. Premature withdrawal of prednisone resulted in relapse of clinical signs. A diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency was made on the basis of clinical signs, electrolyte abnormalities, low baseline cortisol concentration, and lack of response to administration of exogenous adrenocorticotropin. Two months later, adrenocortical function was normal and the foal was doing well clinically. Clinical signs of acute adrenal insufficiency in neonatal foals can be confused with other conditions, such as septicemia, enteritis, and ruptured urinary bladder. A persistently low serum sodium-to-potassium ratio associated with CNS malfunction should warrant investigation of adrenal gland function. Acute hypoadrenocorticism in foals may be reversible.
