serum 0.5 ml

1 x cortisol (before the administration of trilostane)

CLIA

1 day

• For monitoring trilostane treatment on day 28 in case of hyperadrenocorticism.
• If the time of taking the pills has to be changed because of the blood sampling, it needs to be done at least one day in advance.
• An additional determination of cortisol 3 hours after the administration of the pill can further facilitate the analysis – pre- and post-pill determination: before and 3 hours after the administration of trilostane. (see Trilostane Therapy Control 2 x Cortisol).
• Separate cortisol reference values apply for monitoring trilostane therapy (pre-pill: 14 – 50 ng/ml, post-pill: 14 – 23 ng/ml).
• Not suitable for patients in poor general condition and for animals from which blood cannot be sampled stress-free. In these cases, the ACTH stimulation test is still recommended.
