ata-hpa-axis-gh-monitoring

Suggests testing HPA axis functionality before and after starting GH replacement in patients not receiving glucocorticoid replacement with apparently normal pituitary-adrenal function. Triggers include initiating GH replacement in a GHD patient who is not on glucocorticoids and has normal adrenal function.

Monitor HPA axis before and after GH replacement

STEP 1 — Gather Information

Confirm GH deficiency diagnosis, absence of glucocorticoid replacement, and collect baseline adrenal assessment: morning cortisol drawn at 8–9 AM, ACTH stimulation test if cortisol 3–15 µg/dL, symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, current medications (especially estrogen), and IGF-1 target range. Proceed to evaluate adrenal function.

STEP 2 — Rule In / Rule Out

Is the patient currently receiving glucocorticoid replacement? If yes, this skill does not apply (patient already on GC). If no, proceed to assess HPA axis.

STEP 3 — Classify or Stratify

Interpret morning cortisol: <3 µg/dL suggests adrenal insufficiency (AI); 3–15 µg/dL indeterminate; >15 µg/dL makes AI unlikely. If indeterminate, perform low‑dose (1 mg) or standard‑dose (250 µg) ACTH stimulation test; peak cortisol <18.1 µg/dL indicates AI. If AI confirmed, treat with glucocorticoids before GH; if normal, consider GH initiation.

STEP 4 — Decide

If HPA axis is normal, start GH replacement at 0.2–0.4 mg/d for patients <60 years or 0.1–0.2 mg/d for patients ≥60 years, and schedule reassessment of HPA axis 6–12 weeks after initiation. If HPA axis is abnormal, initiate glucocorticoid replacement first (e.g., hydrocortisone 15–20 mg/day divided), then reassess adrenal adequacy before considering GH.

Clinical Guardrails / Mimics / Pitfalls

Do not rely on random cortisol to rule out AI; do not start GH without confirming adrenal adequacy in patients not on glucocorticoids; be aware that oral estrogen increases corticosteroid‑binding globulin, raising total cortisol and masking insufficiency; do not forget to retest HPA axis after GH initiation as GH may unmask adrenal insufficiency.

Concrete Clinical Example

A 50‑year‑old man with GHD not on glucocorticoids presents for GH initiation. Morning cortisol is 12 µg/dL (indeterminate). Low‑dose ACTH stim shows peak cortisol 16 µg/dL (<18.1), consistent with AI. He is started on hydrocortisone 10 mg morning, 5 mg evening. After 4 weeks, morning cortisol is 18 µg/dL and ACTH stim peak 20 µg/dL. GH replacement is then begun at 0.2 mg/d nightly, with repeat HPA axis testing planned at 6 weeks.

概要と使いどころ

Guide pump setting adjustments for the MiniMed 780G system based on CareLink data, using Medtronic's 3-step follow-up workflow. Use when a clinician has CareLink data for a 780G patient and wants to know what to change — which setting, by how much, and how to program it. Triggers include: "what do I adjust", "how to fix high TIR", "how to reduce hypos", "adjust ICR/ISF/basal", "SmartGuard settings", "780G pump settings review", or any question about optimising 780G therapy after reviewing a download.

Performs corticotropin stimulation test to diagnose adrenal insufficiency when morning cortisol is indeterminate (3-15 µg/dL). Triggers include morning cortisol 3-15 µg/dL requiring further AI testing.

Clinicians educate adrenal insufficiency patients taking nondexamethasone glucocorticoids who initiate enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs about early signs of adrenal insufficiency. Trigger when an AI patient on nondexamethasone GC starts an enzyme-inducing AED such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or oxcarbazepine.

In central hypothyroidism patients receiving levothyroxine who initiate enzyme‑inducing antiepileptic drugs, the guideline recommends checking free T4 at least 6 weeks after AED start and increasing the levothyroxine dose if free T4 falls below the target range. Triggers include: central hypothyroidism patient on levothyroxine starting antiepileptic drug such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or oxcarbazepine.

Applies serum cortisol cutoffs (<3 μg/dL indicates central adrenal insufficiency; >15 μg/dL likely excludes it) when evaluating morning cortisol for suspected adrenal insufficiency. Triggers include morning cortisol measurement in suspected AI and use when interpreting morning cortisol levels for adrenal insufficiency workup.
