  • the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity is said to be excellent (92–100%)
  • Measurement of salivary cortisol by ELISA and LC-MS/MS has been well validated in the United States

  • Measuring midnight salivary cortisol is an easy and noninvasive means of diagnosing hypercortisolism
  • Its diagnostic accuracy is identical to, if not better than, that of previously described gold standards.

hypokalemia low potassium cortisol

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 24 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • cortisol may act as a mineralocorticoid when in excess, perhaps by saturating the 11β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (11β-HSD2 enzyme) that inactivates cortisol at the renal tubule
  • high cortisol levels may be the principal cause of hypokalemic alkalosis
  • Nathan Goodyear on 24 Apr 12
     
    high cortisol, whether exogenous or endogenous, can have a mineral corticoid effect and resultant low potassium.

  • We conclude that salivary cortisol measurements are an excellent index of plasma free cortisol concentrations
  • Nathan Goodyear on 30 Apr 12
     
    this study showed salivary cortisol to be an "excellent" means to evaluate both those with adrenal disease and adrenal dysfunction.  Salivary test is a good tool to evaluate the free active cortisol.

  • Measurement of an elevated late-night (2300 to 2400 h) salivary cortisol has a greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of endogenous Cushing's syndrome
  • It is expected that the use of the measurement of salivary cortisol will become routine in the evaluation of patients with disorders of the HPA axis.

  • Late-night salivary cortisol measurement yields excellent overall diagnostic accuracy for Cushing's syndrome, with a sensitivity of 92-100% and a specificity of 93-100%
  • Nathan Goodyear on 12 Jul 11
     
    Saliva testing shown to be 92-100% sensitive and 93-100% specific.  I challenge you to find any test that approaches these levels.
