We determined 293 plasma-ACTH levels out of 49 patients. In 12 patients with various pituitary diseases 168 samples were collected during a standardized pituitary stimulation test. For this purpose we used the following kits: the DYNOtest ACTH and LUMItest ACTH and Allegro HS-ACTH test. Additionally, morning ACTH levels were analyzed from 49 patients using Allegro HS ACTH test and DYNOtest ACTH. Regarding ACTH concentrations during pituitary stimulation the clinical usefulness of the 3 named tests were comparable. Pair differences of morning ACTH levels were not statistically significant. In a setting of a wide range of ACTH levels all 3 trials proved appropriate for making a diagnosis. Practicability of all 3 tests was similar. For all 3 methods incubation can be done overnight which saves time. Reagents can be reused when frozen immediately after reconstitution.
我们测定了49例患者中的293份血浆促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)水平。在12例患有各种垂体疾病的患者中,在标准化垂体刺激试验期间收集了168份样本。为此,我们使用了以下试剂盒:DYNOtest ACTH、LUMItest ACTH和Allegro HS - ACTH检测试剂盒。此外,使用Allegro HS ACTH检测试剂盒和DYNOtest ACTH分析了49例患者的清晨ACTH水平。关于垂体刺激期间的ACTH浓度,上述3种检测方法的临床实用性相当。清晨ACTH水平的配对差异无统计学意义。在ACTH水平范围广泛的情况下,所有3项试验都证明适用于做出诊断。所有3种检测方法的实用性相似。对于所有3种方法,孵育都可以过夜进行,这节省了时间。试剂在复溶后立即冷冻时可重复使用。
