Long-acting porcine ACTH stimulated salivary cortisol reduces the overdiagnosis of adrenal insufficiency compared to serum cortisol in cirrhosis liver.

Long-acting porcine ACTH stimulated salivary cortisol reduces the overdiagnosis of adrenal insufficiency compared to serum cortisol in cirrhosis liver. Stimulated salivary cortisol is a promising investigation for evaluation of adrenal function in cirrhosis and more studies are required for its further validation before clinical use.
