Dexamethason's suppression test: The investigation and analysis of the results

Dexamethason -suppression test in care for the suppression of Dexametason. The level of cortisol is investigated by Dexamethason, Dexammazone is a hormone -like cortisol and leads to the hormone -oriented hormone secretion (ACTH), and this test is used to diagnose the cause of excessive production of production shortisol. Low and high doses of Dexamethason are given, as these doses in normal cases can lead to suppression of cortisol secretion, but it may not lead to the suppression of the cortisol secretion of a tumor in the adrenal gland, the difference between the low and high dose is that the high dose is an excessive secretion, which has been refunded by the large number or hypersia. The method of conducting the investigation during this investigation will get the patient with a Dexamethason medicine, after which a blood sample is drawn from there, so that the level of cortisol can be measured, as we mentioned earlier, there are two different types of premium dose test: a low dose. High dose. Each type can be performed in the short way, or the long road that lasts 3 days, and this procedure is rare, in the following explanation: 1. The short method is a simplified exposition of the short method that is most common, depending on the type dose: the low dose: 1 milligram of Dexamethason will be received at 11 pm, a sample of blood will measure the next morning. High dose: The cortisol level is measured on the morning of the test, then 8 milligrams of Dexamethason will be received at 23:00, a sample of blood is withdrawn at 8 o’clock the next morning to measure the cortisol. 2. High dose: It is 2 milligrams for adults, or 50 micrograms per kilogram in children of Dexamethason. General warnings when taking a single dose of Dexamethason may include side effects of the following: stomach irritation. Bleeding from the stomach. Fluid retention. Mood changes. The risks include a blood sample that takes a blood blood under the skin of the blood. During pregnancy: The integrity of the use of Dexamethason during pregnancy is not proven, so you should consult a doctor before performing the test. Medicines affecting the result of the investigation include medication that can lead to a wrong negative result of this investigation on the following: Corticosteroids. Birth control pills. Estrogen products. Medicines that can lead to the wrong positive result of this investigation include the following: phenytoin. Carbamazepine. Barbiturate. You should consult a doctor about stopping medication a few days before the test. Analysis of the natural pronunciation results of the losemathason suppression test, according to the type of dose, as follows: The low dose of DexameZone the following morning: less than 5 micrograms per cover. High dose: 50 % drop in the level of cortisone in the blood. The results of the investigation according to the type and duration of the exam indicate the following: 1. The short Dxametason test in this test is given at night Dexametason and examines the next morning the level of cortisol, the low level of cortisol denies the presence of pillow disease. 2. Low dose or high -low -dose examination with a low dose is usually used to exclude the coastal disease, which means that the low cortisol level practically denies the presence of a coastal disease, while the investigation with the high dose is used to diagnose the adenoma in the adrenal gland, in this case there is no suppression to secret. On the other hand, most patients who are the cause of the high level of cortisol have excessive secretion of the hormone aimed at the adrenal peel from the pituitary gland, giving the Dexametason to suppression of cortisol secretion. There is no suppression to cortisol after giving Dexametason with a low dose that was also observed in patients with depression, alcohol addicts and patients with serious illnesses.
