Official title
Correlation Between Salivary Cortisol and Free Serum Cortisol Compared to Total Serum Cortisol in MICU Patients With Septic Shock
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is: * to correlate salivary cortisol to free serum cortisol (as salivary cortisol is considered to be almost complete free cortisol) and, * to correlate free serum cortisol to total serum cortisol levels Both in patients with septic shock (severe sepsis requiring vasopressors). We believe that: * total serum cortisol does not correlate with free serum cortisol in patient with septic shock and, * that salivary cortisol correlates with free serum cortisol and can be used to determine the level of free serum cortisol.
