Central adrenal insufficiency in young adults with Prader‐Willi Syndrome

Abstract

Although CAI can be part of the adult PWS phenotype, it has a lower prevalence (7·5%) than previously reported. Clinicians are advised to test PWS patient for CAI. Our study also shows that basal cortisol is closely correlated with adrenal response to stimulation, indicating that its measurement may be helpful in selecting patients for LDSST.
