  • Title: Stimulated cortisol secretion is not correlated with prednisone dose or with steroid side-effects in children after renal transplantation.
    Author: Revermann T, Soergel M, Hellinger A, Klaus G.
    Journal: Pediatr Transplant; 2002 Aug; 6(4):288-94. PubMed ID: 12234268.
    Abstract:
    Impairment of adrenocortical function and other adverse effects have to be considered whenever corticosteroids are applied for a prolonged period of time. We hypothesized that the assessment of adrenal function with adrenocortiocotropin (ACTH) stimulation reflects the sensitivity to corticosteroids and would predict the development of side-effects in pediatric patients on triple immunosuppression after renal transplantation.
