They were interviewed, and subsequently underwent laboratory evaluation for the detection of hypocortisolism.
2
In chronic hypocortisolism, adaptive changes in GR status seem to occur at the level of GR number.
3
The occurrence of hypocortisolism was higher among participants who had been on ART for a longer period of time.
4
The case we report had obesity, hypocortisolism but lacked red hair which is typical for subjects with POMC mutations.
5
In the course of steroid replacement therapy for hypocortisolism, the patient's arthralgia diminished, and MRI revealed shrinkage of the mass.
6
However, recent studies find the correlation between hypocortisolism and stage of HIV (CD4 count and WHO clinical stage) inconsistent.
7
Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of hypocortisolism among HIV patients by biochemical testing, especially those who have been on ARVs for a longer duration.
8
Hypocortisolism was observed in 6 of 28 evaluated newborns, although cortisol concentrations were normal later.
9
Hypocortisolism cannot be predicted based on the participants' WHO clinical stage of disease, CD4 cell count, or the treatment regimen.
