A delayed cortisol response after a prolonged ACTH stimulation is found in over fifty percent of cirrhotics with abnormal low dose short synacthen test, confirming that the mechanism of hypoadrenalism in these patients could be related both to adrenal cellular dysfunction and hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal axis impairment.
