Hello all, We had a query from our Endocrine team asking if they could use salivary cortisol measurement to determine response in a hydrocortisone day curve for a patient with very poor vascularity, (she has required a central line for access previously). Does anyone have any advice on issues such as the lag between blood and salivary levels, and how salivary results correspond to serum levels? Thanks in advance.
