Diagnosing Adrenal Insufficiency: Utility of Saliva Cortisone/Cortisol in Clinical Care
Adrenal insufficiency is common, under-recognised, and potentially life-threatening. This webinar highlights home waking salivary cortisone testing as a practical, accurate, and patient-preferred alternative to traditional diagnostic methods.
Join Professor Miguel Debono as he explores how this approach compares with the ACTH stimulation test, its role in screening and glucocorticoid weaning, and its potential to change everyday clinical practice.
