Abstract: PurposeThe dose of repository corticotropin (RCI) and need for a loading dose in sarcoidosis patients receiving chronic corticosteroids are unclear. We performed a single-blind prospective study, comparing two doses of RCI in sarcoidosis.MethodsChronic pulmonary sarcoidosis… read more here.

Abstract: PurposeLow plasma corticotropin is considered a useful parameter for the diagnosis of subclinical hypercortisolism in patients with an adrenal incidentaloma. However, immunoassays are vulnerable to interference from endogenous antibodies. In this study, subjects who underwent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1542/peds.2016-2169
Abstract: This case report tests the effectiveness of short-acting corticotropin for refractory nephrotic syndrome, and through translational research, unravels the puzzle of acquired resistance to corticotropin therapy. There is increasing evidence supporting the use of corticotropin… read more here.
