Correlation Salivary Cortisol and Free Serum Cortisol to Total Serum Cortisol in MICU Septic Shock

NCT00523198 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2014-12-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is:

* to correlate salivary cortisol to free serum cortisol (as salivary cortisol is considered to be almost complete free cortisol) and,
* to correlate free serum cortisol to total serum cortisol levels

Both in patients with septic shock (severe sepsis requiring vasopressors).

We believe that:

* total serum cortisol does not correlate with free serum cortisol in patient with septic shock and,
* that salivary cortisol correlates with free serum cortisol and can be used to determine the level of free serum cortisol.
