A generation ago, the determination of urinary 17-hydroxycorticoids was the best available laboratory procedure for assessing adrenocortical function. Today, the plasma cortisol concentration, measured by radioimmunoassay, is a much more specific and reliable parameter, particularly in combination with simple functional tests, which are also suitable for ambulatory patients. The most appropriate tests of adrenocortical function for the diagnosis or exclusion of Cushing's syndrome or of primary and secondary adrenocortical failure are briefly described. Substitution therapy in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency must be evaluated by clinical criteria and not by steroid analysis.

The cortisol secretion rate was determined in 18 children according to a modified and simplified method. In 7 cases the determination was repeated after stimulation with synthetic ACTH. 12 of these children suffered from diseases which may affect glucocorticoidsteroid production and the remaining 6 children served as normal controls. In some cases the plasma 11-hydrocorticoid level and urinary excretion of 17-ketogenic steroids were additionally determined. Differences in adrenal function were noted in 2 patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (one of the salt-losing type, the other nonsalt-losing type) and 5 patients with adrenal insufficiency. A normal cortisol secretion rate was found in 3 children with diverse disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism, as well as in a child with subtotal adrenalectomy. The clinical value of the determination of the cortisol secretion rate is discussed and was found to be a more reliable indicator of glucocorticoid activity than other parameters.

Impairment of adrenal function is a great hazard to patients undergoing major operation. The most important adrenal steroids are glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone), 17-ketosteroids, mineralo-corticoids (aldosterone), and small amounts of estrogen and progesterone. Urinary output of 17-hydroxycorticoids reflects overall adrenal cortical activity. Under severe stress this output increases greatly. Adrenal replacement therapy is facilitated by the advent of more powerful and more soluble adrenal hormone derivatives. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate sodium is the agent of choice in surgical emergencies and for management of bilateral adrenalectomy. Fatal adrenal crisis may develop during operation in patients receiving hydrocortisone for long periods of time. Hydrocortisone may be of help in unresponsive shock not due to loss of blood. The usual side effects of the corticoids can be controlled easily.
