Can Salivary Cortisol be Used in Diagnosing Adrenal Insufficiency During the Acute and Subacute Phases of Traumatic Brain Injury?
When evaluating AI during the course of TBI, the cut-off for basal SaC levels is 0.5-0.6 µg/dL throughout the first week, except for 1.38 µg/dL on D2. SaC levels may serve as a surrogate marker for accurately reflecting circulating glucocorticoid activity.
