Corticotrophin‐releasing hormone stimulation tests in late‐onset circulatory collapse
Abstract
Late‐onset circulatory collapse (LCC) is the transient development of refractory hypotension and oliguria after the early neonatal period, which may cause periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the endogenous cortisol response to corticotrophin‐releasing hormone (CRH) and determine whether it is effective for elucidating the pathology and selecting treatment in LCC.
