Total and free serum testosterone and 24-hour urinary cortisol excretion were measured.

Bone mineral density and overnight urinary cortisol:creatinine ratios were similar in the two groups.

Specific assay of free urinary cortisol is difficult.

Two nights of polysomnography were obtained and 24-h urinary cortisol was collected during day 2.

Results: Holocaust survivors with PTSD showed significantly lower mean 24-hour urinary cortisol excretion than the two groups of subjects without PTSD.

The authors present an assay method for free urinary cortisol using inverted phase liquid chromatography for purification and radiocompetition for the assay.

Patients were considered in remission if they had normalized 24-h free urinary cortisol and suppression of plasma cortisol after low-dose dexamethasone suppression test.

The patient was treated with a steroidogenesis inhibitor, ketoconazole (600 mg daily) which reduced urinary cortisol excretion to within the normal range.

Urinary cortisol was extracted (solid-phase extraction) and analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography.
