Pediatrics International, 03/15/07
Bas, firdevs, et al. – It is known that arginine vasopressin (AVP) has a stimulatory effect on corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone; ACTH) and cortisol secretion especially during stress. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of stress on ACTH and cortisol levels in patients with central diabetes insipidus...Conclusion: Cortisol response during acute stress is normal in children with DI and these patients do not need extra steroid treatment during stress. In contrast, the normal cortisol response obtained by increased ACTH levels in these patients indicates an increased sensitivity of corticotroph cells
