Comparison of perioperative cortisol and ACTH normalization using CRH stimulation vs DDAVP stimulation testing in CD patients in early remission. Values presented as means with SEM. No patients with DDAVP-based calculations were in early nonremission. (A) Higher ACTH levels after CRH vs DDAVP stimulation. (B) NEPV ACTH using CRH vs DDAVP-based calculations in patients in early remission. (C) Similar cortisol levels up to 30 minutes after CRH vs DDAVP stimulation. (D) Similar NEPV cortisol values between CRH and DDVAP-based calculations in patients in early remission. Error bars = SEM. Abbreviations: DDAVP, desmopressin; NEPV, normalized early postoperative values. hormone.
