Article Synopsis
- The study examines how serum cortisol and ACTH levels measured on the first two days after transsphenoidal surgery can predict remission in patients with Cushing's disease (CD).
- About 80% of the 40 patients studied achieved early remission, and most of those who did maintain it over a longer follow-up period.
- The findings suggest that measuring morning cortisol levels post-surgery is an effective and straightforward way to assess remission status and could inform the need for potential repeat surgeries.
