N/A Short-term, high dose corticosteroid therapy is often required for control of acute asthma episodes. To evaluate possible Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA)-axis suppression and recovery after such therapy, we studied 7 patients with adult acute asthma before and at 1, 3 and 7 days after completion of a 12 day course of corticosteroid. Corticosteroid was administered as a loading dose (methylprednisolone which was equivalent to 4 mg of hydrocortisone/kg body weight) and maintenance dose (equivalent to 3mg of hydrrcortisone/kg body weight/6 hours) for 3 days, followed by prednisolone (usual start dose was prednisolone 60 mg as a single daily morning dose). The dose was then reduced in half every 3 days. The function and reserve of the HPA-axis were evaluated with basal plasma cortisol, ACTH and short corticotropin stimulation tests. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Baseline plasma cortisol, ACTH, and cortisol responses to corticotropin before corticosteroid treatment were 10.3±5.6 ㎍/dl, 25.4±8.4 /㎍/ml, and 17.7±6.2 ㎍/dl, respectively. 2. One day after corticosteroid therapy, plasma cortisol and ACTH levels (3.9±2.4 ㎍/dl, 9.2±9.0 pg/ml) were significantly reduced compared to pretreatment levels (p<0.01. p<0.01), but the cortisol responses to corticotropin were preserved. 3. Three days after concluding the corticosteroid therapy, plasma cortisol and ACTH levels had returned to 68.9% and 71.7% of the pretreatment levels respectively, and were restored to near pretreatment baseline levels 7 days after treatment. These data suggest that a brief course of high dose corticosteroid treatment may limit the adrenal component of HPA responses for up to 7 days and patients may be at risk if they encounter major surgery or infection during this time.
