1.1. A method designed to afford a quantitative appraisal of adrenal cortical functional capacity has been devised. It consists of a two-fold test: (1) a standard metabolic regimen capable of provoking acute adrenal insufficiency in the severely adrenal-deficient individual; and (2) powerful adrenal cortical stimulation by means of intravenous corticotrophin. 2.2. Classification of patients into one of four separate grades of adrenal cortical functional capacity is proposed on the basis of multiple criteria of response to each portion of the test. Intrinsic and extrinsic grounds for confidence in the accuracy of the method are presented. |
